Community Tasting Notes 7

  April 11, 2020 - At 23 years old now and a year (97) that was a very wet year, my expectations were low. Had Francois Mitjavile worked his magic in this difficult year? well I found the nose a bit "damp, but green leafy", smell of forest floor and past its best. Drank from a riedel sommelier bordeaux glass (sorry zalto) yet colour still holding up. Notes of cigar box and hits of liquorice as well as that forest floor again. I am glad that its my only bottle

  June 27, 2017 - Tasted after the 1996. A bit leafy, green, again a bit of incense on the nose. Fresh, not very generous, thin. Drying finish. Drink up. 86-88

  January 5, 2016 - I found this dull (I agree - not a patch on the Tertre Roteboeuf 97) until this bottle, which was really singing. How can a 97 be a sleeper...? Easily, actually - I am beginning to think that this a bit of a characteristic of several wines of the vintage. Which is a bit of a shame because I am sure that most have been drunk....

  November 16, 2014 - Definitely going down the slope, but gently. Was never spectacular, but excellent for the vintage. Whereas the Tertre Roteboeuf....!!!!

  November 7, 2014 - Firm fine coarsed tannins in the opening. Some cherries and blackcurrant with chocolate. Ok wine, but nothing to be excited about. A bit short and lacks the Bordeaux elegance.
