Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 28, 2024 - A very fishy looking bottle from auction. My case still pristine I thought, well you know , let’s try the new one. Label looked like it spend time in a submarine but cork was perfect. And then that wine … i sure have a problem with quite some 2005, but certainly not this one! Not muted or reductive, just plain explosion of classic Bordeaux, nicely balanced cabernet and merlot, all ripe to perfection, and sublime poise, with melted but vibrant tannins, superbe flow, crispy fruit on blackberry, cloves allspice and, do i really say that, banana…

Excellent saint Julien, still powerful, and a delight to drink now. I would ignore future improvements and go for it. Though it feels like a long distance runner with easy some 15-20 years in the tank.
