Community Tasting Note

  March 19, 2005 - A 98 point dinner at Steve Cramer's (West Seattle, WA, USA): This was my fourth try of this wine in the past 5 months, and this was the taste I was waiting for. The difference was extended decanting which really opened this one up. This sat in a decanter from 11am-3pm and then went back into the bottle to ultimately be served after 10pm. Start beeping and back up the horse baby, as this has to be one of the brettiest wines ever. Horse, leather, smoke with layers and layers of rich, black fruit and spice. The palate is massive with structure, balance and overall weight unlike any other Bordeaux I have ever tasted. There is so much minerality and complexity hiding under the waves of structure and fruit. Amazing!
