Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 23, 2022 - First bottle from a full case purchased en primeur in 2012. A blend of 60% Cabernet-Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, harvested between 29 September and 19 October, 13.5% ABV. Jacques Boissenot consulted. Energetic, fresh, youthful, crunchy fruit, firm structure but with a modicum of feminine Margaux elegance, toasty but well integrated oak, finely grained but still grippy tannins, good resonance and length. Early maturity, needs 3-5 years to loosen its tannic grip. The flawless balance ensures a good career, how much complexity it will develop, remains to be seen. It is still not easy to read, but it may surprise us. Score assumes positive development. Revisit 2025, drink until 2040+.
