Community Tasting Note

Thursday, August 24, 2023 - Tasted blind: tobacco, red fruit nose. Good concentration of fruit, medium body and straight forward compared to '82 Grand Puy Lacoste. A little horsey and a mineral snap on the finish suggests a low level of Brett. A classic Bordeaux.

As I'm sure you are aware of, Brett is at the core of every complex wine you ever enjoyed from the Oole Woorl. Murricans usually also speak of receding fruit as "dying" instead of: maturing.
Cheers :-)

I think a low level of Brett can add interest to a red wine but it is NOT necessary for a great or complex wine. Same for acetobactor.
