Community Tasting Note
ChristopherB Likes this wine:
Friday, April 19, 2024 - From a half-bottle. Nice dark ruby-garnet black colour. On the nose upon opening, aromas of blueberry, blackberry, black olives, graphite and ink. On the palate, the attack is frank, fruity with the aromas as found on the nose and with a blackberry dominant and lots of somewhat rounded yet drying tannin. A very good length to this (with added pomegranate). Feels somewhat like old school Bordeaux and less oaky than the 2005 I tasted a while back. Not remotely on a downward trend, this is at peak to my tastes (from half-bottles). A delightful wine! My biggest regret is that it is my last one of this vintage. I don't think my 2005 will reach this level, but the 2010s may have. 94
After 15-20 minutes of air, pure blackcurrant becomes the dominant aroma.
