Community Tasting Note

May 13, 2020 - Tasted blind and would have never guessed Bordeaux! An intense rhuharb nose type of shining bright fruit like I never smelled before. Soft and fine on the palate. Fresh and fruity. Precise and ultra-linear. More and more sweet spices popping up over time in the glass. No one guessed Bordeaux and in that sense this isnalready quire singular. An outstanding wine for the price bracket and even better already than at my fresh in the bottle tasting. If you did‘t buy this en primeur, buy some now - if you did, buy more.
