Community Tasting Note

philmtl Likes this wine:

Saturday, September 16, 2023 - Ah! Properly aged Bordeaux. Finally. Upon opening, the tannins were so forward that I thought it might be corked. Double decanted + 3 hours of air after it was back in bottle. Nose: old saddle leather, tobacco, ripe raspberry, cherry, earth and forest floor. Nice medium+ body with medium acidity and tanins that went from aggressive to supporting cast after proper handling. There is a savoury streak from leather to almost saline/mineral finish that is just heart warming. A lovely middling class bottle.
