Community Tasting Note

• pablopilot Likes this wine: 94 points

  May 25, 2017 - Generally I pretty clearly prefer the Comtesse to the Baron... on this particular night this bottle followed a '03 Baron which had just a bit more meat to it. Or maybe we were less drunk when we drank it. Remarkably similar flavors, though... plumminess, meatiness, some residual tannin and excellent acidity. Very drinkable and no jagged edges. No need to baby this wine: it is a plain delicious (if somewhat costly) beverage to be enjoyed with food! I would say no particular hurry and it could in fact improve with additional years in bottle. 15-20 more, even!
