Community Tasting Note

Monday, September 4, 2006 - NobleRottersSydney - First Growth Night (Guillaume at Bennelong): And the Mouton is definitely rich. Overtly ripe blackcurrant fruit dominates the nose just the way you’d expect. The palate shows more cigar/cedar tones and remains highly tannic; dry, dusty and astringent; the fruit plays second fiddle to the structure here, almost to the extent of going missing in action (pardon the mixed metaphor). Only that makes me query any further improvement for this wine, and suspect if it will just plateau at this stage. A medium+ length finish concludes the show.
