Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, December 22, 2009 - An interesting contrast to its slightly older sibling (the '95) this wine showed a more delicate side with a much more subdued character. The nose was softer and brought to mind flavors of golden chantrels and stewed meat with an sweet hint of plum and stewed apricot. One picked up more of a delicate floral on the palate then with the '95 with much lighter fruit notes and less mineral and leather. The tannins seem to have either already greatly subsided or be much less originally present which made the wine much easier to drink. I feel that this wine has reached its peak and should be drunk asap or one might risk a loss those lovely fruit and floral notes that make this wine so attractive.
