Sunday, May 4, 2014 - Swe-Aus blind tasting, Yokohama (Le Message, Gumyouji (Yokohama)): (My wine)
All, including the chef, were sure it was a better Bdx.
Dark red towards black.
Nose with Bdx earth, a bit of Brett and apples. Astonishing!
Taste is Bdx-typical like the better reds of yore. Tannic M+++ with mature tannins. Superbly intense with cassis and small notes of sumi ink. Long finish with a fine wood treatment and toast. Well integrated, still maturing wine that with some more layers would go further up the points' scale.
Wife: 93p
No more btls, but looking!
This wine has many more years to go and grow. Wow!
