Community Tasting Note

Monday, December 16, 2019 - A small impromptu dinner - 08 Champagne and Chateau Margaux (Clarity - Vienna, Virginia): Incredibly youthful hedonistic nose displaying intense concentrated black fruit, crème de cassis, blackberry liqueur, licorice, incense, liquid smoke, lavender, cedar, lead pencil, dark caramel and crushed rocks. Unbelievable concentration, layers upon layers of intense crème de cassis, unctuous and rich but also perfectly precise, fluid and detailed, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, and the finish that never ends. Comparing to the 96 always results in the same outcome, very similar in style but this is slightly riper, richer and more concentrated where the 96 is more precise and detailed. This wine can easily improve for another three decades or more.
