Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 19, 2021 - Very nice, surprising to the upside. We drank decanted based on some of the previous reviews; in hindsight, probably not needed but also didnt hurt. Color is a medium red brick with faded rims, right around where you think it would be (maybe just half a shade lighter). Nose is wonderful Bordeaux, and won't disappoint right bank fans: notes of forest, licorice, charcoal, overall very earthy. On the palate, the fruit lurks in the background, perhaps just a bit of cassis but earthy elements still dominant, fading into a very pleasant medium length finish. I'd say definite peak drinking now - not enough fruit and tannin to keep this going, but very nice to enjoy at present. You can't beat the price too (I'm seeing current releases (~$50-$70ish). Going to put this in the rotation when I can't drink Trotanoy or Pavie.
