Thursday, November 14, 2019 - HDH annual Bordeaux tasting: Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Chicago, IL): For me, this bottle was all about the nose. What an exuberant fruit-bomb of a nose, with a distinct hint of creme de cassis, coupled with some figs and other dark, sweet fruits. The palate, unfortunately is a little less explosive, showing a little more restraint and less stuff altogether. It's perhaps a little more leathery, and there's some serious power here. Given the amount of ripe fruit here though, I think this may well be one of the sleeper wines that will last longer than the vintage charts will tell you.
