Community Tasting Note

Monday, January 14, 2008 - Popped on a Monday night "just for the heck of it" since I have a big shoulder surgery coming up in 2 days and needed some relief.
A tight bottle of this elixir. Opened up with dominant notes of mint and tobacco. Initially a bit lean on the palate, after an hour in the decanter this fleshed out gorgeously showing the fat, sexy, ripe personality this wine is so famous for. Seductively ripe yet with lovely mineral, cranberry and iron notes playing against the tobacco and cassis. A pinnacle expression of Bordeaux, so ripe and forward, yet so classic at the same time. This wine is always a special treat.
