Community Tasting Note

Scapolite Likes this wine:

Tuesday, April 30, 2024 - **Tasted alongside '15 Carmes Haut Brion, PnP**

Deep ruby, purple in colour, opaque in the center, with a wide reddish, translucent rim. There's no bricking whatsoever despite having a bit age. Legs are a bit fat.

Savoury, smoky, and leathery on the nose with the black and blue fruits hiding in the background. Smoke meat, smoke, tobacco, cigar box, graphite, wet earth, forest floor, cocoa, a bit of vanilla, blackberries, blueberries, and black currants.

Smooth and somewhat acidic in the palate on the entry with ample of fine, slightly grippy tannins. Leathery and smoky in the beginning with the black fruits coming out in the mid palate, similar to the nose. Wet earth, smoke, leather, cocoa, espresso, black tea, blackberries, and blueberries. Finish is exceptional with the fruits and slight heat lingering around.

Wow, delicious. Already approach but this can definitely continue to benefit with more age. Can't wait to retaste this a few years from now.
