Community Tasting Note

Saturday, December 30, 2006 - 1998 Nice yellow color. Nose is intense and complex, showing lot's of creamy nuts, vanila and some honey. The mouth doesn't live up to the expectation the nose triggers, not so complex, but shows a great balance. Nice medium finish.

1995 Couvent des Jacobins (France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru)
Colour is in between the previous two wines with a deep red core fading ever so slightly at the rim. Nose has a rich tobacco character as well as floral notes, some soap, blackcurrant and blood. Tannins are again slightly aggressive, but they seem fine grained. Good length and structure and enjoyable to drink.
