Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, February 28, 2024 - Dark mostly black and blue fruit aromatics and flavor that was a bit stewed. A gripping mouth feel which was a bit harsh as there is not a good overall plushness you would expect from a big fruit forward wine. Reminded me of other older wines from warm vintages that may have dried up some as they age. Rather monolithic as there was not much complexity -sort of a one trick pony. I am probably a bit harsh here as I would expect more from a wine of this price range. I have not had a Blankiet wine in quite a while and probably previous ones were not as aged, but this one did was not as enjoyable as i recall so I can not comment if this was an off bottle or indicative of the vintage, especially since other reviews here seem to be more positive. Overall serviceable but a bit disappointing.
