Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 28, 2018 - Final bottle from a half case purchased in 2004. Perfect cork, level into neck. It is a large-scaled and powerful wine, youthful and fresh at 18 years of age, still tannic but with lots of cassis fruit and spice, firm core of gravelly minerality, muscular, lead pencil, good resonance and length. It could only be a left bank claret, but you would be forgiven for guessing Saint-Estèphe. It should last until 2030 with ease, but if you are hoping for finesse to emerge, you will be disappointed.
