Community Tasting Note

• FDWines Likes this wine: 80 points

  April 4, 2021 - My first Bordeaux. I had it cellared for over 10 years. Reading reviews I decided to try it. Decanted the wine for 20-30 minutes. Nice amount of sediment. Definitely “old world” taste as I pointed out to guests. Will not find any upfront fruits. Enjoyable very smooth texture. Went really well with loin lamb chops. Was worth the wait.

Hence my question, and the reason your score matters is because an individual score will affect the aggregate rating.
