Community Tasting Note

90 Points
Saturday, October 3, 2020 - A bit disappointing versus expectations. Enjoyable and harmonious but lacks something: edge, power, complexity? Perhaps that will come with time but for now not where I would expect it to be.

Unfortunately I have another 22 in my cellar and having purchased en-primeur I am still hoping for something better . I notice the tasting notes are very variable. I decanted for one hour and certainly didn’t feel it needed longer
