Community Tasting Note

  • englishman's claret wrote: 98 points

    April 4, 2020 - Gorgeous right out of the bottle with an intense, saturating nose. Terrifically complex, with blueberry compote, pencil, wood smoke, sandalwood, squid ink, and a kiss of lavender. The more air this gets, the more pure the blueberry becomes and the more the lavender emerges. Big on the palate, but beautifully balanced and with a long, flavorful finish it’s hard not to be optimistic about the future. Potentially one of the truly great Mouton vintages. 97-98(+?)

    Nice to have two!! The trouble with wines in early maturity is that the next one could be closed down hard. It’s not at its apogee now and if you can wait, I would!
    Cheers
