Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, December 5, 2012 - Whoa! This wine tastes no older than maybe 6 or 7 years. After opening the wine, I poured a small glass just to give it a try. Slammed shut. Double decanted for two hours. Some improvement, but you better be below your fourth decade of life if you ever want to experience this at full maturity. Heck, even the 96 is showing way better at this point. The nose reluctantly gives off aromas of fresh soil, cassis, red currants, tobacco, and some pencil. Pretty much the same thing on the massive palate, with some sour cherry thrown in. A huge, classic wine, I am going to score this on potential - but for a little less money I would buy 2005 Angelus as they should both be ready at about the exact same time (and the Angelus is a better wine.) 95+ Pts
