Community Tasting Notes 10

  November 25, 2023 - Thin, weedy, and with a focus on its tobacco, cedar, herb, and leafy, peppery, sharp red fruit profile. Not undrinkable, and knowing the vintage, this was better than expected. Drink from 2023-2024.

  August 19, 2023 - Je ne m'attendais à rien. Millésime médiocre, bouchon qui avait coulé.. Ce fut une belle bouteille. Arômes puissantes de poivron typique du sauvignon. En bouche, très fin mais avec encore une matière très suave et plaisante.

  November 17, 2022 - Coravin'd a small sample to see where the wine is at in its life. Color was brown/red with ever so light bricking. Aromas of clean fruit, cigar, wet dirt, tobacco, chocolate. Taste of cherry, chocolate, black dirt, cigar. I was very pleasantly surprised by this. I decided to decant the bottle and filter the sediments. Left it in the decanter for approximately 2 hours. Cleaned the bottle, pour a tiny bit of the wine back in the bottle and rinsed the water out. Poured the wine back in and vacuum corked it. Took it to a restaurant and drank it about 1.5 hrs later. The wine still has life left. There is enough acid and fruit to hold the wine together longer but there is no need. Great time to drink this now. It is in between secondary and tertiary aromas.

  March 28, 2021 - From a bottle with top shoulder fill. In the nose soft and pleasant with butter, leather, flamed wood and fruit. Develops nicely while in the glass with additional layers of wood and spice appearing. On the palate the substance feels a little watery and thin, tannins are low, acidity is a bit high and there is pronounced bitterness in the finish. Nice classic Bordeaux, however, a little light on its feet. The Giscours from the same year, tasted the night before, had more meat on the bones.

  June 22, 2019 - Etikett nicht mehr vorhanden, Füllstand top shoulder, Korken beim Ziehen am unteren Drittel gerissen, sonst aber Zustand echt Ok, Farbe des Weines Bernstein-rot, der Wein ist gleich nach dem eingießen ohne dekantieren oder warten sofort bereit, verströmt unmittelbar einen Duft, als wenn er im Dornröschenschlaf 45 Jahre gewartet hätte endlich aus seinem Leben zu erzählen... und es geht ihm noch gut, er hält noch mit. ja: reif, aber voll auf der Höhe, keinesfalls über den Peak, sehr klassisch in Nase und Mund, noch erstaunlich vital mix von dunklen Beeren, Leder, Grafit, tolle Säure, Tannine perfekt eingebunden, ein großartiger Wein, ich bin fast traurig dass ich ihn unterschätzt habe, so ohne Anlass geöffnet und das Erlebnis nicht live mit Freunden oder zu einem Mahl teilen kann... Dafür bleibt noch eine Flasche 1976 vom gleichen Händler...
