Community Tasting Note

I'd Rather Be Drinking Wine Likes this wine:

Thursday, December 16, 2021 - Guys Night Out - Holiday Edition!: First wine in a great lineup! What an awesome start! Lovely nose full of earth, pencil shavings, some cedar, some purple flowers and some dark fruit. Palate was more tertiary, with rich earthy notes, graphite, tobacco and tar, with some dark fruit and blue fruit and hints of spice and sweet oak. Palate was smooth, with tannins well rounded and well integrated. A great older Bordeaux! I admit, I was quite impressed that 1985 wines would hold up this well and this long! I remember first tasting them and thinking they will be short-term wines....glad my first impression was wrong! A solid 95 tonight....group's #2, my #3 (by a smidge).
