Community Tasting Note

vide Likes this wine:

Sunday, May 9, 2021 - I am back again, boring everyone: es tut mir Leid.

And on my favourite subject: the merits and demerits of left-bank 2009 Bordeaux.

Perhaps I am drinking these wines too early. Perhaps they will develop character in time, but at the moment they are too accessible, lacking in depth and complexity, with good forward fruit and soft tannin, but little else. And, quite frankly, I can't see where that "little else" is going to come from.

2009 seems to represent a new style of wine-making in Bordeaux, one that reaches out, I suspect, to North America, but in doing so loses something in the process. But now I have said this, I am enjoying drinking this wine.

I can't get my over-rationated Cambridge brain out of wine assessment.

Or anything else, for that matter.
