Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Friday, November 18, 2016 - Four recent Bordeaux: Served blind. A more evolved colour than the Smith Haut Lafitte. Also a more evolved bouquet with dry underbrush, tobacco and spices accompanying the dark cherry, blackberry and crème de cassis. Some Margaux lift on the nose. On palate, a much better, more accessible Bordeaux on the night. All of the components there now. A generous palate with racy acidity, resolved tannins and palate complexity and detail. Satiny mouthfeel. Getting into its optimal window now. I often find that at this type of age, I prefer lesser vintages from the top Bordeaux houses ...
