Community Tasting Note

Saturday, August 11, 2012 - DRC Dinner 1 (Sydney, Australia): An intense nose that also has great complexity to it - there is sois bois, black cherry, some ground coffee, truffle and dark floral aromas. While there is plush, powerful density of fruit on the palate there is an impressive set of tannins and it flows very nicely into the long finish. I didn't get a sense of it being over-ripe or hot on the palate despite the vintage reputation. It isn't shut down at all yet, providing plenty of pleasure, though I think it has more to offer over the medium term. Well and truly exceeded my expectations and lived up to its pedigree - it's a different expression of the site, but it still reflects the site rather than the vintage alone.
