Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, December 30, 2015 - popped and poured. Not a typical tasting note-after the Christmas wines this return to Bordeaux is interesting in showcasing the real differences in wine making styles. This is a big fruity almost jammy wine by Bdx standards but after a week of cult and old faithful standards from Napa was a great lesson in why Napa is not Bordeaux and vice versa. I would wager a lot that no one enjoying Bryant, Sloan, Kapsandy. Screaming Eagle, Colgin or even Mt Eden Reserve would think this wine was picked at optimum ripeness. Yet it has structure that none of those wines, or others will ever match, certainly after another 20 years.
Enough of the soap box. This is a very special wine. If you have it, be slow to drink it.
