Community Tasting Note

dream Likes this wine:

Tuesday, October 20, 2020 - Double-decanted 4 hours before consumption and tasted alongside the '95. Very interesting to taste these side by side as the vintage differences are quite apparent with the '96 the finer wine but the '95 more decadent and voluminous. The '96 was quite chiseled with firm but perfectly ripe tannins and lots of smoky leather and tobacco flavors. The finish is more complex than the '95 at this point with wonderful notes of sweet and smoky gravel, dark spices and campfire embers. Awesome but still showing fairly young and tannic. Perfect bottle at Cote, NYC. 95+
