Community Tasting Note

Peech Likes this wine:

Tuesday, May 24, 2011 - spent about 45 minutes in the decanter itself before being poured back into the bottle. When we finally poured it into glass and started drinking some 1½ hours after I pulled the cork, my friends liked the nose but I found it to be still very tight. I kept complaining that the wine hadn't opened up but my friends thought the nose was showing pretty well... Two hours into dinner, the nose finally blossomed and revealed its beauty, and my friends finally understood why I had been unhappy for the last two hours! Sweet, very ripe, smooth and buttery, with toasty oak, lemon, straw and honey. Alcoholic on the finish. Still going very strong more than 4 hours after opening. Not as good as the 2003 that blew me away last month, but still an incredibly good wine. Next time I'll decant it for at least 2 hours...
