Community Tasting Note

djhammond Likes this wine:

Thursday, November 7, 2019 - Fully mature this is drinking wonderfully, and encapsulates the beauty of great Bordeaux wine in its prime. The nose is deeply aromatic with ripe cherry and plum, with hints of raspberry. The tannin has fully resolved and the palate is sweet and deep, but still showing a steeliness with background notes of tobacco and old leather. The finish is decent and well balanced. This could be mistaken for a wine a decade and half older, and I do wonder about its potential longevity. I will look to consume my remaining remaining bottles over the next 5 years, and feel it is extremely unlikely that this has the structure to stay here as per initial guidelines, (2048!).
