Community Tasting Note

Saturday, December 19, 2009 - What a surprise, this bottle got moved in my cellar and I just found it. I didn't expect much from a 7+ year old SB. Very nice grapefruit nose, not as pronounced as when this wine was young, much more subtle almost like a grapefruit preserve with some background minerality. A very mellow grapefruit taste with a richer mouth feel than expected. The finish at first was very long but after having been open for a half hour it had shortened (or my palate had fatigued). (N.B. this wine was stored from purchase at 54 degrees.) An entirely different wine (and very pleasurable in a different way) than it was 5 years ago. Sometimes it's fun losing track of a bottle.
