Community Tasting Note

• Ianjaig wrote: 91 points

  September 10, 2019 - Day one and this is a big brooding beast. Thick, dense and heavy with a lovely nose of leather.
  Day two and it has mellowed significantly. Silky, smooth with lovely fruits, raspberry and currants. Surprising lack of tannin.
  This hints at being something quite special, but it needs time! 5 years + IMO. Is it worth tucking some away?
  Edit: there is a hollowness to this wine which is a concern that I can’t quite resolve.
  Edit: But I'm being overly critical here and have bought some more to tuck away.

  2/6/20, 5:38 PM - I think your Day One comment is accurate.
  I thnk your Day Two comment is accurate.
  I think your Edit is over-analyzing. Somewhere along the way, presumably after Day Two, you became concerned about a "hollowness"in the midpalate. C'mon Ian. This is a $20 wine. At 91 points, it's a great QPR.

  I've been enjoying my 2016 Haut Brissons.
