Community Tasting Note

• d'Yquembe Mutombo Likes this wine: 92 points

  November 22, 2023 - Still very primary on the palate but the tannins are (almost) fully integrated, presenting a wine that seems to be at peak but still drinks young and will probably continue to evolve and gain nuance over another two decades. I love all the Baudry wines and La Croix Boissee always stood out as being the most elegant and complex. Lots of juicy red fruits, the acidity hints at cranberry but it's more like ripe strawberry/raspberry/pomegranate. With airtime the midpalate develops some bittersweet chocolate notes. You can tell it's cab franc but the usual cues are less overt given the ripe vintage. This is drinking great right now although I preferred the in-your-face profile from the bottle I had soon after release. Will revisit in 5 years.
