Tuesday, August 1, 2023 - A chance find in my cellar. I stumbled over it while making room in my cellar for the latest BDX arrivage. Never added this wine to my cellar and therefore it was a surprise.
Usually I don’t like this kind of wine, but I have to admit that this is really very well made and the proceeding age probably has softened its heavy character a little bit. Still very full with a dominant alcoholic sweetness and a wagon load of fruitiness. But it succeeds in managing all this to a sort of roundness that is typical of great wine.
One or two bottles of such heavy and alcohol-loaded wines is enough for me per year, but this one is a very worthy representative.
