Saturday, March 20, 2010 - very top shoulder. cork is wet almost up to the top. upper surface is dry without mold. extraction 'in one piece'. nice brick red with 3mm flare on the rim. nose: prunes, soy sauce, dry marzipan, nutmeg, rose wood. dust, uniper, lactic acid. palate: mid-weight, low acid, but still tannins present. the nose blows me off my feet. palate is a bit watery after 10 Caudalie, so what? few terroirs offer this level of complexity (and sheer enjoyment) after 34 years. why are we drinking wines earlier?
