Community Tasting Note

  • James Kim Likes this wine: 91 points

    May 20, 2021 - From memory. Double decanted but not sure for how long. Small pour. Strong green tobacco on the palate with graphite, leather, earth with fruit in the background. Less balanced than the 81 Cheval Blanc. Still, it's drinking well and would never refuse a glass.
