Community Tasting Note

  April 1, 2018 - Dinner for Wayne and Hannah ('96 and '02 Burgs, '82 Lagune etc): Not quite the bouquet of the 1996 but richer, more opulent perfumes with dark spices, barbequed game meats and dark fruit. On palate, real richness, matière and structure. Quite primary and more dark fruited than the 1996. Very well balanced though with good acidity to provide freshness and focus. Nick noted the 'solar' nature of the wine but said he preferred the 'fatness of the fruit of the '02 over the leanness of the '96'. 'More flesh on the bones', agreed Con. Ideally, I'd still give this wine about 3-4 more years but it's already outstanding, in my view.
