Community Tasting Note

JamesTye Likes this wine:

Sunday, June 16, 2013 - From 750ml. Level BN and cork was in excellent condition. Decanted and served immediately. Colour light red to brown, and slightly cloudy/muddy after the decant. On the nose red fruits, earth, leather, game some funk. Well rounded palate, a fraction of fruit remaining but plenty of complex dried blood and earthy St Estephe flavours. Lots of drying tannins but not heavy handed or excessive.
A very well put together St Estephe from a variable vintage. Not every 89 has aged as well but the tannins have kept this wine in excellent condition. Drink now as this won't improve.
