Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 13, 2009 - Cork looked great, very saturated but concentrated on the bottom. Color was nice, light garnet, no bricking.
The boquet had all the usual Bordeaux suspects (barnyard, cedar, lead), but I was slightly surprised at the presence of some bright red fruits, raspberry; also a bit of anise as it opened.
The palate had a nice little spice to it mid-palate, and the tannins were completely gone. What dominated this wine was (back to the red fruits) the acid. It had a Barbera-like quality, very sour cherry.
Popped and poured 1 glass, drank a second about 3 hours later. Not much of a change, the acid was still extreme, and in the 2nd glass I started to pick up a little brett (very slight).
Nice bottle, too acidic for my taste at this point. $45 on winebid, made for a nice experiment.
