Community Tasting Note

Monday, January 5, 2015 - Given the low marks for this wine on CT, I did not hold out hope that this would be good. But it was in a nice 3 liter bottle, and what a better time to open three liters of 2005 Premieres Cotes de Bordeaux than on NYE with 9 friends. All I can say is that I was blown away at the quality of the aromatics in this wine. Just super classic aged Bordeaux. Super tertiary, with mushroom and truffle and damp earth. Tannics were a bit unbalanced on the palate, but that nose! I have a history of tasting thousands of Bordeaux wines at every level and this was an amazing surprise.
