Community Tasting Notes 2

August 10, 2020 - My first experience with a pre-phyloxera Bordeaux. Like no other Bordeaux I have ever had. Some postulated there might be some Syrah in the blend. Beautiful red fruit and cherry flavors that I never associate with Bordeaux. Amazingly alive with brilliant long flavors and complexity. I really liked this wine and perhaps my 94 is grade inflation because of the age but what a great and completely different wine from any other Bordeaux I have ever had.

October 6, 2018 - Light bricking with some pink and rose tea in color, the wine was light in weight, color and fruit on the palate. But the fruit that was there combined floral, tobacco, pipe smoke and light cherry notes. The bottle was recorked and was almost certainly topped off with a more recent vintage at the time. Sadly, the cork crumbled and that information was lost to the ages.
