Community Tasting Note

Eudemis Likes this wine:

Sunday, November 22, 2020 - 13% alcohol. Good long cork with no wine penetration at all. Decanted an hour ahead. Dark colour with minimal fading at the edge of the rim.
Very vivid nose with vibrant blackcurrant aromas following an initial powdery sensation (not in a bad way).
The mouth is equally impressive, incredibly fresh and nimble; refreshing in a way that Bordeaux rarely is. The wine has good grip without any bitter tannins. Very good length.
I do not know the grape mix, but this screams high quality CS to me (probably with minor unobtrusive M addition).
A great success, and capable of long further ageing.

PS: looking back at my previous notes, I see that I quoted the grape mix as CS 55%, M 40%, CF 5%; the high dose of M surprises me. Maybe the 5% CF helps with the freshness beyond what the figure announces.
