Community Tasting Note

Sunday, May 21, 2006 - This was a pristine bottle, high shoulder fill. The cork came out in 1000 pieces, but I managed to blow the crumbles out of the neck, before they fell into the wine.
Upon opening, a nose of minerals and some cedar, evolving into stewed fruit, over the following hour. Slight browning on the rim, but 'on sight' this is anything but a 72 year old Bordeaux. In the mouth very minerally, but again, as time passed, more fruit submerged. Tannins mostly integrated, acid is quite present. This drank really well for the three hours it lasted. A real gem that could have rested for several more years!!
