Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 22, 2011 - I've probably consumed 3-4 cases of this wine over the years and it has been wonderful to drink at every stage of its life. However, I must say that right now it is at such a plateau of perfection that of all the older claret I have the privilege to drink, this bottle tonight left me speechless. Perhaps not since I consumed a perfect bottle of '59 La Miss some years ago, I simply cannot find anything that is missing from this wine. So perfectly balanced with hints of black fruits with this incomparable texture of liquid graphite and that lovely peanuty quality of aged Pauillac. The finish is so gloriously smooth and complex. I've only given an handful of wines a 100 rating over the years but by a process of elimination, I can't give this perfect example of this wine anything less.
