Community Tasting Note

Mark Dignam Likes this wine: 91 points
April 27, 2024 - Opened a few hous before drinking and left in a decanter. Opened up nicely with a nose of dusty oak, mocha, plums, black fruits and savoury notes.
Palate was nicely mature with some tannins that were not overpowering. Intensity was good and acid was moderate,
There is a range of fruit characters - cassis, plum, blackberry and leafy undergrowth, meshed to mocha oak and some nuttiness. The oak is in the background and adds depth rather than overpowering the wine.
It isn’t a great wine but it is as good as planty of classed growths and shows the vintage well.1 person found this helpful 267 views
