Community Tasting Note

Eudemis Likes this wine:

Monday, September 26, 2022 - 14% alcohol. CS 70%, M 20%, PV 10% according to Jeff Leve. Cork of good length and above average quality with limited wine penetration. Decanted an hour ahead. Dark impenetrable colour with no fading at the rim.
The nose is richly dark fruited (mostly blackcurrant) and free of oak. The mouth is very smooth but not without grip thanks to soft residual tannins in the finish. Very good harmony here.
A winner; compared to the Leo-B 99 that I had yesterday, the present wine is more immediately seductive and with a bit more stuffing, but not necessarily better. Both styles have their place, and this diversity is what makes Médoc so interesting, even after forty years...
Good ageing potential (the wine, not myself unfortunately).
