Community Tasting Note

WineCellarTV Likes this wine:

Friday, August 9, 2013 - Deep dark velvety, garnet. Hardly any signs of aging.
Bright, dense and vital!
Inviting aromas of Ripe Dark Berries; mostly Plums, Blackberries and Cassis. Earthy Characteristics. Licorice aromas paired with Dark Chocolate, Vanilla and Eucalypt.
Fragrances of Tar with little Leather and Tobacco.
Languorous, multi-layered and beautiful nose!
Some Fruit Flavors of Dark Berries and Fruit in Rum.
Great complexity of secondary characteristics with mostly Licorice, Tobacco and Dark Chocolate. Some Leather and Earth. A Little dusty.
Finishes long and smooth with beautiful Fruit, lively Acidity and little Peppery Spiciness and even some Minerality. Amazing!
Perfectly vital, complex and round.

A Revelation of a perfectly integrated wine with an amazing play of lively fruit and secondary characteristics, giving an example of what Bordeaux from a legendary vintage can do!
Density, great structure and balance delivered with optimum proportions and refinement.
Probably peaking now, but surely good for many years to come.
