Community Tasting Note

  • SuperWine+ Likes this wine: 100 points

    August 15, 2022 - This is the Wine of the decade for me. Medium plus in body and super complex. While still a baby boy and tannic it's magnificent. Double decant for 30-60 min.

    There is no doubt it is great, but it is young. Has not developed any real secondary notes that I love on MB. But with a big decant you will taste how damn good this is. I prefer for a bit more development, but that is how I like it. You only gain by waiting, I know that ...
