Community Tasting Note

  • Decanting Queen Likes this wine: 92 points

    September 21, 2019 - A pleasant surprise on an Air France flight (the second wine was listed in the menu, but they were pouring this one). Obviously young but drinking well despite its youth and my altitude! Typical BDX notes of dark fruits, pencil shavings, some green vegetal characteristics. Tight young tannins but drinkable nonetheless.
