Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, November 13, 2018 - Chateau La Conseillante Dinner with Marielle Cazaux (Le Cafe Descartes at the French Embassy): Initially a bit tight, blackberry jam, plum, cherry, milk chocolate and limestone. With air, it opens up beautifully adding truffle, caramel, licorice, leather, tree bark and earth. Excellent concentration, packed sweet black fruit, dense and slightly rough, good acidity and mineral, very noticeable slightly coarse tannins and a medium to long concentrated black fruit driven finish. There are a hint of bitterness and coarse tannins that clips finish. It is a bit less charming version of the 05. Perhaps another decade of cellaring will help.
