Community Tasting Notes 5

  April 16, 2021 - Solid but also a little stolid, quite tannic and not very expressive, quite a decent bottle but not as good as a 2010 L'Argenteyre tasted alongside.
  The sort of second wine that shows why CBs are so much better value.

  May 7, 2019 - Inky garnet. Tasting on a 30 min decant (quite some sediment already). Huge fruit on the enticing nose. Strawberries, blackcurrant jam, vanilla and of course the Medoc leatheriness. Medium body and refreshing. Smooth tannins are well balanced with a palette of cassis and redcurrant, with a slight secondary figginess coming through. Very easy drinking from this classic and accessible Claret.
