Thursday, February 24, 2022 - Wine 5/7 of Bordeaux tasting at YOLO Wine club.
* Decanted 2 hours before serving
Color, Dark and a bit cloudy, early signs of bricking on the rim.
On the nose - Port, Oloroso, Cassis, Lavender. Enticing on the one hand, but showing serious signs of aging. In the mouth - Luscious fruit, earth, berries, plum. At this point, the fruit feels a tad overripe and the fading tannins don't support the structure well enough, resulting in an imbalanced wine. Overall a tasty wines that can still be enjoyed with a good cut of red meat, but definitely over the hill at this point. If you have'm, drink up now.
