Community Tasting Note

Friday, June 3, 2016 - Decanted and followed in the glass 3+ hours. I like Mouton, a lot. But this bottle, while pretty good, didn't have great verve or any excitement. It was still a very nice wine, but I expected and wanted more. It lost its way in the mid palate and then didn't have enough structure to recover on the finish. I'll label it a bit thin, but don't extrapolate the expression out to a huge negative. Not a blockbuster when you think of sound Lafite or Latour, but a gentle soul that would pair well with subtle foods of great character, like this wine. I think you would have to be one who just can't see themselves opening a 96 first growth before age 25-30 to hold this wine a long time. Age 30 strikes me as it's practical limit.
