Community Tasting Note

Saturday, October 17, 2020 - Cassis, graves earth, bitter chocolate, tobacco leaf, and stone fruits on the nose. It's mid plus weighted, well balanced with more of the same on the palate. It's well done, but with less depth and expansiveness than the '99 Mouton that preceded it. Graves earth, more tobacco, and some wood spice on the back end. The wood is more obvious on this wine, but still not intrusive. A little astringent on the back end, but I am picking nits. Overall a very well made wine showing at peak with plenty of time in hand. It just suffered a little in its company.

Outstanding with a simple great ingredient French dip sandwich.
