Community Tasting Note

Thursday, August 6, 2020 - This is a heavyweight, but taut enough that it feels more like a heavyweight boxer than a heavyweight sumo wrestler. I understand the vines here are pretty old, or at least what passes for old in Bordeaux, and a lot of its power does seem to come more from V.V.-style density than from flab. The fruit is still pretty intense though - hard to imagine it has budged much from however it tasted on release - certainly intense enough not to make the tannins an issue. It's oaky, too, but about as luxe as oak can get, nothing raw or excessively sweet or toasted about it, it comes across like ultra-buffed, tight-grained, furniture-grade cedar.
