Community Tasting Note

djhammond Likes this wine:

Thursday, April 25, 2019 - The wine is certainly now in its drinking window, but it still has evolvement ahead of it. Two years since I last tasted this, it seems to have finally found its identity. I concur with other notes in terms of the nose not being overly expressive. Everything is about blackcurrant and tobacco, and while restrained on the nose, the palate is wonderfully deep and complex. The last couple of years seems to have resolved the previous sourness on the finish, but it is on the short side. It is very typically right bank, and probably has not lived up to its initial hype, but it is a good solid St Emilion. This needs a few hours in the decanter to be fully appreciated.
