Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 19, 2021 - From a pristine looking bottle with a saturated cork with mould on the top. The nose is wildly complex, traditional bordeaux from the get go showing wet cigar tobacco, mossy undergrowth, dark cherry, pipe tobacco, caramel tinged espresso, plum, celery seed, a touch of dried mint, and black currants. Just a flat out blockbuster bordeaux nose that you could spend a whole evening smelling and enjoying. The palate is on the lighter side of things entering on bright sweet red fruit with no tannin to speak of and a somewhat green tobacco tinged finish that is clipped just a little short. All in all we have a beautifully in-tact old school bordeaux, with a stunningly complex nose and a palate that is good but leaves something to be desired.
