Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 26, 2008 - Brought to an offline with many other BdM's. I decanted this for about 2 hours before returning ti to bottle. I love that mature Grosso Sangio fruit as it fills the air.... This bottle showed VERY well. I am sure it will continue to improve for at least 5 more years, but its really hitting its stride and coming all together. It was a textbook BdM. Mature dark fruit, with some cooler red berries on the mid-palate which somehow brought a sun burnt orange thought to my mind (prolly just my imagination). Perfectly expected obvious acid balance (contributing to the orangy-ness), and a backbone with smooth tannins and old patina d leather (I am taking a little poetic license with my memory here ... indulge me). The wood added a touch of a smoky dustiness on the finish. I am sorry that this was my last bottle, but as Leo requested it, I was very happy to oblige... provenance was perfect.
