Community Tasting Note

• Albert Wong Likes this wine: 93 points

  October 25, 2020 - Drank from the bottle over 2.5 hours.
  
  NOSE
  Intensity: medium
  red tea, cured meat, tobacco, forest floor, hint of red cherries
  After 1 hour: the wine became more aromatic
  
  PALATE
  Body: medium-
  Acidity: medium+ not sharp, but mouth watering
  Intensity: medium
  red tea, cured meat, hint of cigar
  After 1 hour: tinge of cantaloupe, hint of strawberry
  After 2 hours: red tea, undefined fruity feel - like cantaloupe
  tiny sharp hints of alcohol here and there
  
  TEXTURE
  Tannins: medium+
  Still lots of tannins, but smooth.
  As each hour passed, the wine got rounder and rounder.
  
  BALANCE
  Well balanced. Alcohol, tannins and acidity well integrated.
  
  COMPLEXITY
  The expected subtle changes in a right bank wine, and enough changes that I would want to keep drinking to see if there is more coming.
  
  FINISH
  Length: medium+
  Aromatic finish in the mouth
  
  CONCLUSION
  Readiness: Drink now, but it feels like there are still a good few years left
  Could have performed better if decanted for an hour
  Yes, I would love to drink another glass!
