Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 9, 2012 - My first bottle of this wine and I was immediately reminded of why I love big, left bank bordeaux. Obviously young with lots of primary fruit flavors and structure, but also with good complexity. Intoxicating nose of cassis, earth, mushroom, spice, vanilla and funk. Tobacco aromas emerge after some airtime. Terrific intensity of flavors and with very ripe fruits. Medium to full body with very good concentration, nice balance, drying tannins and a long, long finish. Richer, riper and rounder than I normally expect from a top bordeaux - and a good reflection of the vintage characteristics. Plenty of stuffing to improve over the next few years and with a long life ahead. 94+
