Community Tasting Note

Monday, March 1, 2010 - dark ruby color; elegant red raspberry, rhubarb, and red plum nose, light celery and cedar notes, still a hint of green on the nose and palate; very subtle mouth feel by 2010 standards, refreshing red raspberry, red plum flavors, good acid backbone,very pleasant but surprising how old fashioned it seems now; balanced, complex finish of berry fruit and light oak but I suspect far too subtle to get high scores from those that like '03, '05, '08 Bdx or the Calif Cults from the 90's onward.

Lalande is one of my perennial favorites but--- IF 82 is a great vintage and IF Lalande is a great 2nd then this bottle doesn't show it
