Community Tasting Note

  • djhammond Likes this wine: 100 points

    February 10, 2024 - For myself, the wine of the vintage from one of the greatest Bordeaux vintages of all time, and it kicks the first growths out of the park. This is the first time I've had the chance to enjoy this by myself, and really focus on the wine. From nose to tail this is faultless. The nose is perfection with old leather, blackcurrant, plum and cedar with violet and orange hints. The palate is seamless and multilayered with perfect balance, and the finish pushes past 90 seconds, and somehow manages to carry robust tannin to the very end without any residual bitterness. Without doubt, my greatest wine I've ever drank, and my deathbed choice. If it was possible 100+

Looking forward to the remaining 11 bottles and a single magnum for that aha moment! I will look for one to open tonight if I can find it.
