Community Tasting Note

Friday, May 7, 2010 - Double-decanted for sediment before going to restaurant. Soft, plummy, mature. Red and black plums, low acids, resolved tannins. Some tobacco and a little earth. Pleasant workmanlike claret. I might have guessed Graves blind, but I would have not gotten 1988 in lots of tries- maybe 1997! Perfectly acceptable, went well with food (might could have used a bit more body for her steak),. but most importantly served its symbolic purpose. B

The nose is now saturated with a forest floor-esque pungency. Not much on the power left on the finish though. Kudos on the description.
