Community Tasting Note

Robbie O Likes this wine:

Wednesday, March 6, 2024 - This wine has entered its drinking window well integrated and in perfect balance of fruit, acidity and nicely fine-grained tannins. There was a bit of funk on the nose and in glass upon first splash, but this all resolved with air and really started to sing. Classic Margaux nose and on the palette a mix of black fruits and blue with touch of graphite/pencil lead. I recently drank and reviewed the 2010 Rauzan-Segla and made inference to how it was polished and not a lush fruit bomb like perhaps an Issan or Brane-Cantenac, but I was wrong. This wine is not at all modern in style and has a real sense of class and sophistication to it. Again, like the Rauzan-Segla, I would recommend bringing it up to temperature but not too much above cellar temperature. A 60-90 minute slow-ox in bottle and it should be singing. It’s in a nice drinking window now but doesn’t feel like it’s going away anywhere for probably another decade. Great quality/price ratio too. Enjoy!
