Community Tasting Note

87 Points

Friday, April 12, 2024 - double decanted - little rim development, dark quite dense but glossy ruby; black plum and spice, some earth notes, simple and straightforward; fullish, ok length but little fruit, coarse tannic structure all too apparent, massive over-extraction based on this bottle, though other notes on this site suggest this bottle an outlier, though there was no obvious taint, no future, drink. At best G+ (15.5).........I originally bought this en primeur but was able to sell it back to the merchant having picked up that extraction might be an issue but have stuck by more recent vintages which I've enjoyed.
