Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, September 22, 2021 - Fourth bottle from my case and the best so far. This is really starting to open up and show what it's made of. The colour has mellowed with some lightening at the rim now and some foxy hints creeping in. The nose is all dark brambly fruit, ash and gravel - typical Graves. Rich and mouth filling on the palate with some grippy tannings and acidity keeping everything in balance. Quintessential left bank Bordeaux. As in previous bottles, there is a hint of funk on the nose but in a good way. Delicious.

Current pricing puts this at about £75 on the table, a (relative) bargain for the vintage and quality and 30% the price of some of the Medoc second growths. I can see a long future ahead for this wine but if you have few bottles, definitely worth opening one and enjoying now.

66% Cabernet, 28% Merlot, P Verdot 6% 13.5%
