Community Tasting Note

LT98 Likes this wine: 93 points
February 5, 2023 - Opened way too young, but by accident. I meant to grab the Le Petit Haut Lafitte 2016 but grabbed the "main wine" instead! It was pretty obvious after tasting. Still rough and not yet integrated. My score reflects how it tasted over the last three days, not what it will become, which I suspect is closed to 96 points. Purple with dark fruits, moderate tannins. Bright acidity. Oak not fully integrated. This will be amazing in 10 years.

2/5/23, 7:26 PM - 2 1/2 years ago this one was rockin' a 96. I'm sure it's going through a phase now as it tries to integrate. The key it seems to me with many modern Bdxs, is to have them early on with a decant OR wait til late in their lifespan. The 'in between years' just never seem to rock my boat as much as those other times do.
