Community Tasting Note

90 Points

Monday, May 16, 2016 - Rebecca's Welcome Dinner (Chicago, IL): Ex-Harris cellar. Perhaps this is a touch old, but it's definitely still drinkable. A nose that shows mostly tertiary character at this point, with some red fruits still showing. I didn't pick up any of that Margaux (appellation, not chateau) perfume though. The palate still shows a touch of fruit, although it's getting quite acidic on the back end. There's a silkiness in texture though, that's really pleasant. It's clearly in the last stage of its life, even for this bottle of excellent provenance. Drink up.
