Community Tasting Note

Sunday, March 12, 2023 - Tasted double blind. My guess was right bank Bordeaux from a ripe vintage. While not as classic Bordeaux-esque as the 80s and early 90s Dominus, this still is on the good side of things in terms of ripeness and earthiness – even in a hot, ripe vintage like 2002. A great wine and thanks to the powerful fruit and ripeness it did show well even after 20 wines and with an almost numb palate.
TN: Intense but not overly precise bouquet displaying dark berries and truffles at the core. On the palate loads of herbs, minerality, perfectly complementing the ripe dark fruit core. The structural frame was quite good with melted tannins, high tension, good acidity and an overall wonderful balance.
Decanting: Not decanted, no extensive decanting needed
