Community Tasting Note

Sunday, October 20, 2013 - 1982 Bordeaux dinner (The Grill Room at Capella Hotel Georgetown): Explosive nose of cassis, dark fruits, cedar, a hint of lead pencil, lavander and mushroom. Great example of the vintage and the chateau, intense ripe dark fruit and noticeable green note are nicely integrated to make the wine hedonistic yet fresh. This bottle showed the similar concentration and development as the 82 HB. Medium concentration, intense dark fruit, silky and nicely integrated tannins. This is perhaps the best and freshest example that I had. Jim mentioned the short finish and IMO, the perfect balance and airy palate may give that impression. Intense yet precise. This is a kind of wine that I would be happy to drink a whole bottle.
