Community Tasting Note

RightBankKane Likes this wine:

Thursday, December 24, 2020 - Great showing. This has really put on weight in the 17 years since its release. Still a fine dark red, beautiful secondary nose with depth, a saccharine quality I liken to cotton candy, dark cherries and just a whiff of finely integrated old wood. Plush and smooth on the palate with just a fine edge of tannin lending support. Good acidity also adding life and slight structure. Would like to know the exact cepage but I imagine merlot is the predominant grape. I find that about 30% cabernet sauvignon is all it takes to make an excellent claret on the left bank, at least for my tastes. This would grace any table and can easily keep another five-ten years with good storage.
