Community Tasting Note

O'Meara Likes this wine:

Friday, November 17, 2023 - This is a classically styled bordeaux from a great chateau (that I love) albeit a lesser year. I like it, but I won’t be seeking out any more of this vintage. It’s ready on the cork pull, but a 90 minute decant does help with its definition. There is a good dose of gravel scents along with green tobacco, thyme, cloves, and white pepper. The fruit is a nice mix of mostly red fruit with a touch of black fruit too. At this point, the palate is starting to get taken over by the structure and the tannins are bit underripe and woody. I think this is better drunk now rather than later. It probably will decline from here on out, but it’s Bdx, so you could gamble on this maintaining its plateau for several years. I’m drinking my last bottles in the next six months.
