Community Tasting Note

95 Points

Thursday, May 4, 2023 - Allemand Chaillot survey (Chicago, IL): Can't believe it's been so long since I last tasted this. This is very dark in complexion, with more of a black-fruited, plummy character, but the fruit isn't on full display here. There's a lot of leathery qualities as well, and the palate is very large-scaled. Not as fruit-forward and elegant as many of the other wines, this is a brooding, somewhat monolithic wine right now, but it's pretty clear that there's good material and potential. Not the most interesting of vintages to open right now. I'll also note that my 2018 note had this with distinctly red fruit -- I didn't find that to be the case at all today.
