Community Tasting Note

  • Wineteacher wrote: 86 points

    November 4, 2021 - Soutard style is traditional with a bit of rusticity. From such a celebrated Right Bank vintage, I had expected a lot. The wine was medium bodied and decanted well, with minimal sediment. Nicely red with a bit of tile on the edge. The wine smelled rubbery at first but double decanting got rid of that. The disappointment is not that the wine is not good but It fails to delivery complexity and more multi-dimensionality than what it has turned out to be. Too much neutrality and short in fruit and lushness. Lots of structure but short on flavor complexity and mid-palate body. A bit hallow. Hard to say if it is too young. But at this point, I might as well wait to see if more stuff comes along.
