Cailles wrote: 94 points
June 23, 2021 - Tasted double blind. This is an amazing wine with a very high aromatic complexity and a laser-sharp precision as the highlights. Very expressive and evolving from the first sniff to the last sip. It certainly would have got 97+ points but for my taste, this has a tad too much ripeness but especially it showed some alcohol heat. The older I get, the less I can cope with these high levels of alcohol. Anyway, this was amazing to taste. 93/94
TN: Extremely expressive nose full of dark cherries, dark berries, herbs, minerality, harmonious and superbly precise. Very alluring. On the palate a ripe, bold young Bordeaux with cherries, rosehip, raspberries, lots of blue fruit and some blackberries, lipstick, fresh herbs, wet stones. Very, very precise, ever-changing so slightly and intellectually appealing. The structure is superb with ultra-fine tannins and a high, integrated and balancing acidity. Overall harmonious with a fresh but creamy texture and just a touch too much alcohol. Very long and expanding finish.
Decanting: Not decanted, no decanting necessary.1 person found this helpful 5,137 views
