Community Tasting Note

• dream Likes this wine: 95 points

  February 25, 2020 - This is a beautiful Mouton that lacks the usual exotic side of this great terroir but it's very Pauillac in style with black fruits and wonderful graphite mineral notes. So silky and sleek with a firm underlying structure and just a fantastic refined complexity that builds towards a finesse-driven finish with hints of tobacco, sweet gravel and lead pencil. To me, more mature than the Margaux or Latour drunk alongside but there's still upside here as the structure softens further.
