Community Tasting Note

Sunday, July 17, 2022 - Annual BYO Pre-Dinner (mostly mature Bordeauxs): The Pomerol legend from a great Right bank vintage? What could possibly go wrong? Opening the bottle far too early! This was nowhere near to be ready and it didn’t help that the wine was not decanted. 92 pts for the substance and the intellectually intriguing potential.

TN: Rather muted nose. On the palate, however, the wine is much more open, although still young, very young. Dark red berries, herbs, lots of minerality, herbs and spices, some toasty notes. You can sense that the complexity is high, the substance is impressive, the precision is too. But the wine isn‘t as round and harmonious as it could be. This will need much more time in the cellar to soften, open up, become tertiary and form a harmonious composition.

Decanting: Not decanted. This could have needed 3-4 hours in a decanter at least.
