Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 8, 2023 - Took it to a restaurant so not enough time to decant. Aired for about 30 minutes but 1-2 hours would have been preferable.

Aroma was solid right from the pour. Scents of ripe berries and blue flowers were obvious even without having to put nose to glass. Colour was deep garnet and shimmering. Really lovely hue. Palate was surprisingly weak on fruit. Wood, spice, smoke and lots and lots of leather. Not in a bad way, but sweetness from fruit was demure, or at least overshadowed by the warm elements. Nice medium-weight in the mouth with good acidity and a very satisfying finish. Make no mistake, it's a lovely wine but not up to the standards of what I know the Comtesse is capable of. No signs of fading and will hold for at least another five years.
