Community Tasting Note

Chomsky wrote:

Wednesday, October 12, 2011 - Two bottles: the first one was maderized and dead, hence the second bottle. It was a very nice old Bouscassé, fully mature and superbly on point, with an intriguingly raspy nose of leather, sage, truffle, cardamom, and tiny black fruits -- this is what an aged Tannat nose is all about. It's almost as good on the palate, with a slight tannic scrim on the finish. Really good; not as good as a great Montus but still really good. Perhaps a bottle in truly perfect condition might age well for a few years longer, but I'd drink these closer to now than later.
