Community Tasting Note

ProfByron Likes this wine:

Saturday, July 5, 2014 - Very mature (even for bottle bought and consumed in Bordeaux from reputable merchant) with lovely aged character. Not by any means a blockbuster. Its attractiveness is largely because it has aged, and developed lovely character, rather than being a wine of intense fruit originally.

I know 1990 wasn't quite as ripe as 1989 but I thought it was not far off, but, as I said, this isn't a blockbuster. I suspect that many 2000 Bordeaux may similarly surprise some people. If you expect a 'vintage of the decade' (or Century as usually hyped) to be Californian in ripeness then don't look to the left bank of Bordeaux in 1990 or 2000. Thankfully. The world needs more wines like this. Wines that have delicacy as well as flavour.

13%. Cork.
