Community Tasting Note

Friday, July 7, 2006 - Dinner at Jeff and Marya Samuelson's: Tasted beside the 1985. You could taste the similarity between the two wines. However, the 1996 was much more reserved aromatically. The flavors were the same (black fruit, earth, tobacco and smoke), but simpler and less expressive. In the mouth this is dominated by the fruit at this moment, and is much simpler and much more tannic. The other flavors are there and will emerge in time. Still, a very nice wine. It was educational to taste this beside 1985, but additional time in the bottle is needed before this will be a stunner.
