August 9, 2023 - Pulled the cork on the bottle accessed by Coravin in February.
Showing considerable modern flare, particularly in extraction, the wine retains its Left Bank soul, in bracing style. Blackcurrant, pepper garden, discarded railroad tie, deciduous forest sous-bois, black farm soil, intriguing funk, gravel, and mineral ores in spades. Juicy, somewhat heavy (extraction), decidedly gripping, complex finish.
No less than a decade from peak, yet worth checking in on now. Wines in this style sometimes throw considerable sediment after fifteen to twenty years from vintage date, then turn relatively pedestrian. This wine, however, I would wager will hold form through 2030, and beyond. The next three to five years will reveal much.7 people found this helpful 4,437 views
