Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 25, 2023 - 1983 vintage horizontal with >20 wines, mostly from Bordeaux. Key observations: 1/ Acceptable vintage for Champagne with DP over-delivering, 2/ Laville Haut Brion is a masterpiece among the whites, 3/ Bordeaux is going strong at 40 years of age with stand-outs Latour and Margaux. 4/ No need to chase any Napa’s from the vintage, 5/ off-piste Italians kept up impressively with Soldera an undisputed medalist.

Tasting note:
Double-decanted. Intense nose of tobacco, malt and caramel, well-defined dark cherry fruit. Nicely structured, light palate with more tobacco, albeit slightly thin and no longer able to perfectly balance the tannin. In this direct comparison, LMHB came in a notch better.
