Community Tasting Note

  December 16, 2021 - Lafarge and d'Angerville study (Chicago, IL): I don't know if it was a contrast of this bottle next to the 2005, or if it's some sort of bottle variation thing, but I found this bottle to be very pleasant and giving (in contrast to a very stern bottle opened at the end of the before-times). The nose shows lovely red fruit, with cherry a dominant profile. The palate is quite sweet and shows a silkiness that is just so pleasing in comparison to the coarse 2005. This is charming, even. This was a lovely bottle, but it's hard to reconcile with my previous experience with this wine.

Many 2005s are coming around now, but it's no surprise that d'Angerville's 2005 Taillepieds needs more time, and it's only a modest surprise that this 2002 is only beginning to open up (at 19 years) -- I've got six in reserve so maybe I'll try one in the near future.
