Community Tasting Notes 26

  January 4, 2022 - Gang of 4 in Covid19 times; Bordeaux, St. Estephe (@ RW): Beautiful and deep bouquet with some stable and barnyard smells, dark berries and cigar box. On the palate dark berries, chocolate, tobacco, bell pepper and pleasant bitterness in the finish. Good acidity and the tannin still has a bite and is a bit drying.

  December 25, 2021 - Fully mature, this is clearly a cabinet dominant wine. It is savoury and dark fruited with a touch of animale. With some time in the glass there is something herbaceous coming through, thyme I think. Palate is not the longest. More red fruits here maybe some cherry, also texturally less polished than an '01 I enjoyed a few weeks ago. Suspect will hold on for few years but in gentle decline.

  December 5, 2021 - Wine is definitely past it’s peak however it showed remarkable beauty for its age in the first hour or so out of the bottle. Afterwards, the wine began to fade. In the feature I would just pour this wine out of the bottle and not decant it.

  June 8, 2019 - good long cork, perfect level, colour still relatively youthful, very little brown at rim, nose fresh, lifted, mid-weight, cabernet dominant, quite fine, very nice, clearly northern left-bank, palate also of mid-weight, “lean and mean” but not in a negative sense, very dry, good length, spiciness to upper back palate, well made, good wine for the limitations of the vintage, true to its character, not what one would serve to convince a beginner in Bordeaux but for those who love the style, character and structure of Bordeaux and St Estephe in particular this is still a real pleasure to drink, enjoyed this and have no regrets I have a few more, good QPR
