Community Tasting Note

Thursday, February 2, 2017 - Fit for a wine loving Groundhog: Bordeaux back to 1970, by way of a 1982 trio (Ripple Restaurant in Washington D.C.): Some participants were saying that this was the best wine so far of the evening. It was impressive indeed, and I really liked it. But it seems to be still in a "towering Pauillac" phase, just a touch rigid and in need of more time to permit the tannins to better integrate, in my opinion. It is as if the structure were just slightly hiding the fruit. I recall tasting this side-by-side nearly 10 years ago with the Comtesse 1989, and the latter showed more evident fruit and tertiary nuances. Well, now the Baron has not moved much, at least based on this bottle, probably very well stored. In any case, upward score potential to be sure.
