Community Tasting Note

  • VinceRime Likes this wine: 96 points

    January 2, 2023 - Bought at an auction so I did not have too much expectations (in terms of aging conditions). First surprise was that I have got a bottle that have been rebottled in 2001. Then the wine was in really good state. On the nose and the palate: blckberry, noble leather, forest floor and smocky notes. The fully Integrated tannins makes the wine really smooth, even if it is still bodied. I would have never guessed it is 37 years old. An amazing wine with the right complexity and balance between primary and tertiary aromas. This is a pity to have had only one bottle. For me, it shows the magics from higher Bordeaux estates in great vintages.
