From Coravin. 2016s must be in a dumb phase for me, there’s an astringency here and can’t place it. Nothing really fruit-wise stuck out at first, reminds me of a “mixed fruit” jelly at the diner. But over time it grew a little more complex. The finish is long - graphite, dark chocolate, maybe rose or hibiscus petals or maybe it’s dried tea leaves…I could be crazy.

Vins compris 8nov22. Robe sombre légèrement satinée . Nez vanillé, un peu compoté sur la cerise. Cèdre, goudron en bouche. Petite fermeture mais finesse agréable aujourd’hui. Attendre 5 ans ou carafer 30-40 minutes

I have to agree with TMSTL. It was a mess out of the bottle, and oxygen did not help it at all. It started off with some decent enough aromatics, but it was very thin and tasted diluted. I did not detect any notes of a flawed or oxidized wine; the components were there, but nothing that spoke of the Château or terroir. Time in the glass didn’t do very much for it, so I waited until the next day. It became an unappetizing, sour elixir, and no one had anything positive to say about it. The rest of the bottle went down the drain. I was thoroughly disappointed despite only having limited expectations of the wine to begin with.
Hoping to discover if the first bottle was just a fluke, I tasted again from a second bottle, purchased from a different retailer at a different time. I was disappointed yet again. Very odd.

Fine bordeaux, litter unpleasant immature taste after sufficient awakening.
