Community Tasting Note

Monday, March 18, 2024 - Nose: Deep black fruit, cassis and amazing signature cigar tobacco on the nose. Perfume of leather, florals, stone and hot brick coming through. Such a Pessac nose as this opens. Palate: Focused dark fruit that quickly gives way to leather, old library, cedar and some faded red berry notes. Touch of VA here in the balsamic note, but it is not distracting. Finish: Closed a bit rough and ready with the age showing clearly in the tart black fruit and green tobacco notes.

This opened very shy and tight. Coiled, inky and almost a brooding saline note on the nose. This remains a favorite from LMBH that flies a bit under the big vintages, yet expresses the character of the chateau really well.
