Bordeaux masterclass at Summa 2022 (Weingut Alois Lageder, Margreid, South Tyrol): Here the colour shows some more browning. Likewise the nose - while sweetly perfumed - is already quite tertiary with licorice and notes of woodpolish, soy sauce and incense. On the palate the wine is fully developed, probably not as powerful as it had been a couple of years ago, but still very pleasant with a fine and nicely rounded mouthfeel and good sweetness. Not over the hill but time to drink up.

A year on from my last tasting, this is much better Lovely wine, browning (it is 25 years old after all) and really punchy with fruit and old Merlot character. 96 is not my favourite vintage in Bordeaux, but this is pretty good (But it is shortlived - 25 cl decanted at the time of drinking into a 25 cl bottle is not good 18 hours later). The message is certainly: drink up and enjoy.

CD5 A l’aveugle; une certaine finesse bordelaise, de la tenue, des epices et du sous-bois mais dans l’ensemble un peu fatigué, et un peu « ancien monde »

Dull - have I missed the boat with this? Or is it just not very interesting?

I would like to praise this more, but in fact it was rather dull. I know that it can do better, hence the score.
