October 2, 2020 - Dinner at Red House. Tasted blind. Just popped and poured! No other prep whatsoever. Drank over 2 hours. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of very fragrant cedarwood, smooth integrated vanilla, cassis, blackcurrant, redcurrant, earth, dark florals. Smells expensive. Developing.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), fine gossamer high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of cassis, sweet cedarwood, blackcurrant, blackberry, ripe bell pepper, black cherry liqueur with more air. Very long finish.
Outstanding quality. First Growth feels for sure. Elegant and some florals so I was thinking Chateau Margaux 2005 maybe. Surprised to see Chateau Latour. Good long life ahead, but clearly very enjoyable now already. On pop and pour wow!3 people found this helpful 6,561 views
