April 2, 2017 - {diam, 14%} First time I've seen a diam soaked nearly to the top. Disconcerting. But, this isn't oxidised at all. It's very typical of Domaine A, with its herbal, basil and currant character. Very much on the green side, although it doesn't otherwise display signs of unripeness. Medium dusty tannins, medium and clear-cut acidity, medium weight and a medium/long, dry, solid and varietally cabernet-like finish are its hallmarks. It's somewhat developed, clearly not aged, but I wonder if the green character will become still more pronounced as time passes. I daresay if you drink a lot of Bdx it won't seem too leafy at all. Good wine, but rather pricey for what it is. I think recent vintages were back in the $40-ish range.
