I'd Rather Be Drinking Wine Likes this wine: 96 points
August 30, 2022 - An Amazing Arizona Tasting: 30 min decant - I typically never drink young Bordeaux, and there is absolutely no doubt this will be even better than it was today,,,,but OMG was it delicious today! This wine should flirt with perfection in about 20+ years.
Nose showed lots of diverse aromas, including dark fruit, charred meat, violets and cigar, with hints of vanilla bean, cedar and cocoa bean. Palate showed lush black and red fruit, asian spice, and dark chocolate with lots of earth, tobacco, tar and leather, with hints of anise and eucalyptus. Tannins were fine grained and smooth, and the finish was luscious and long. This is already a seductive wine, but will be so much better down the road!
96+ points today, but a chance perfection with an additional one or two decades of bottle age!1 person found this helpful 5,220 views
