Community Tasting Note

Chimer Likes this wine:

Saturday, June 15, 2013 - Purchased en primeur - tried it 2 years ago and it was a bit lean and ungiving, however it is now starting to talk;
Colour is still dark to the rim, hot brick earthy nose with plenty of refreshing acidity, wine needed an hour in the glass to open up. Palate has silky fruit I associate with Cru Classe status, and there is a slightly green '1996' note on middle palate, tannins are still quite hard - I think this is the signature of the vintage and they are unlikely to fade. Now that the fruit is fleshing up and covering the tannins it looks like a good time to start drinking this. Attractive classical claret.
