Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, December 1, 2020 - This has not quite lived up to expectations, but is a very enjoyable wine. I think it is lagging behind with some of the other right bank wines from the year in its development, many of which have entered their prime drinking window. Consequently this benefits from an extended time in the decanter. The nose is its best feature, and is packed full of ripe blackcurrant and tobacco with floral aromas. The palate and finish have excellent depth but are a little green. Probably most distracting at this present time is the residual harshness and imbalance on the finish. I hope time will improve the wine, but it is still great value for money if bought on release or a few years ago.
