Episode 42: My first Vendange pt.3Tasting notes on 2 extreme Bordeaux 2006
1) Chateau Prieuré Marquet - Bordeaux Superieur
Score: 10/20 Concluded by my actual tasting notes.
Enough of fruits like cherry, core of blackberry. Mid palate has nothing more to give, kind of hollow. Finish is short, lack complexity overall.
100% Merlot. AOC is Cotes de Bordeaux
2) Chateau Clarke - Listrac - Medoc 2006
Score: 17.25/20 Concluded by my actual tasting notes.
There is something I like about this wine even though it is a bit unsettled and wild. Unlike many other wine, this is at least saying something. The Tannins of this wine is monsterous, way too soon to be out of the barrel for tasting some people might think. I honestly don’t think it is necessarily a bad thing. I love it, Tannins is the skeleton of a wine. Young age without it, I wouldn’t call it a fine wine.
Anyway, I like this wine, it has a bright future. Take sometimes to mellow out the anger. It will blossom, be patient. Lets say 8-10 yrs.
The texture in my mouth felt like being sucked into a vacuum cleaner, the Dyson one :->
