Château Vieux Taillefer St. Émilion Grand Cru

Nez superbe et très expressif. Framboises cuites, fleurs séchées. Bouche charmeuse. Douce, ronde sucrée. A merveilleusement bien vieilli et redonne le goût de boire du Bordeaux.

Dark berries on the nose. Some menthol on the backend. An earthy mushroom nose too. This is a very elegant wine. Present but not overwhelming tannings. It finishes on a herbal licorice note. Elegant and glad I have more to see how it develops over the next few years. I know understand why it will not hold more than 5 + years. Had it with a steak with mushrooms after 1hr of carafe ...
