Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 18, 2015 - Big Bordeaux IX featuring '82 Pichon LaLande and Leoville Las Cases and More (Rocknroller's (Kevin & Vicki's Place)): Very dark red plus color with a 1cm transitional margin. Slow-O for about 4 hours, decanted for 1 hour; drank 1+ glass over 3 hours. One whiff and you knew this was exquisite, one taste and you were elevated to another place. Ethereal, evocative, insert your adjective here. An impressive nose with ground tobacco, deep wet earth, a touch of funk, a seductive perfume of potpourri, red raspberry, cassis, black cherry. The palate is just wow, wow, wow, lifted, incredibly earthy, damp, vibrant, gorgeous velvety red and blue and black fruits, sleek ultra fine grained tannins and a very, very long finish. It's hard to even put in words, it simply makes me giddy. My and group WOTN, hands down. 97+ to 98pts.
