You’re the second person in a week who has used fenugreek in discussing wine. The other person used it to describe a wine that was notably reductive. First time I had ever heard that comparison. For me Fenugreek is a more bass herbal note. It’s green but not piercing, laying a foundation of herbs.
It’s also refreshing to read your commentary on the wine in juxtaposition of so many in the internet wine geek community who actively loathe 2015 Cos (not to mention other vintages) because it’s not the same Cos from 1982. As if we’re the same people we were 33 years earlier.
Thanks for reading and for that comment, David. I purposely did not research other commentary before tasting. I taste so little Bordeaux anyway and wanted to bring fresh eyes to it.
