Community Tasting Note

91 Points

Sunday, October 25, 2015 - La Fête du Bordeaux (Park Hyatt, Chicago): Dark rosewood, with the faintest hint of bricking. A restrained nose, though deep inhalation reveals sandalwood and ash notes. The palate is juicy upfront, with the red fruit flavors quickly overtaken by strict tannins, persisting through the long finish. Consistent with the bottle I tasted in September of last year, this needs more time to mature and should see its 30th birthday in good condition.
