Community Tasting Note

Sunday, September 26, 2021 - Tasted twice, over several days. As per my go-to routine for sampling such young BDX, ~1/2 bottle was Coravin-decanted into a 16oz amber bottle ~4h before sampling on day 1. I followed up on it again ~24h later. Tasted alongside Gruaud Larose, Langoa Barton and Malescot St Exupery, this was one of the standouts in this solid lineup. Complex nose showing typical Pauillac aromas of pencil lead and cassis, along with jammy berries, wet leaves and minerals. Chewy, full-bodied, with a firmly tannic finish even on day 2. Black currant, saddle leather and graphite; slightly green and vegetal, but in a rustic old-school way that I very much enjoy. This barely budged over 30+ hrs, and took a lot of air and coaxing to show its potential. No doubt it will outlive me.
