Community Tasting Note

octopussy Likes this wine:

Tuesday, September 23, 2014 - Almost 30 years of Bordeaux: Very dark red, no signs of age. In the nose, this is quite linear, a bit monolithic, slightly confected fruit, in particular cherry, some mint, dark, brooding, impressive, but not particularly fine. On the palate, it's also a bit monolithic, slightly angular with prominent acidity and well integrated, but present tannin. Minerally in the long finish. Michael Broadbent calls this wine a "mammoth" in the context of the vintage and I would agree.
