Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, September 2, 2008 - Dark ruby. A bit closed on the nose, and it continued to be reluctant for the whole evening. Given the excellent provenance of this bottle, I must assume that this wine is still not ready. Mostly secondary aromas and flavors of cedar, graphite, earth and leather; there was just a touch of cherry and pomegranite to add some balance to this wine. Tannins were plentiful, but not overpowering. The potential is exceptional, however this wine did not show as well as any of the other 1982 First Growths this evening. Hope to pop one in 10 years. If I owned this wine, that's when I'd open my next one!
