Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, April 9, 2008 - Color: Hazy red, with hints of brick on edges.
Was not throwing much sediment at all for a 20 year old bottle.
Nose: This wine screamed bell peppers (both red and green), hints of band-aids, green olives, tea and dried tobacco.
Palate: Smooth and seductive. Tobacco, dried cherries, mushrooms, forest floor.
Nice structure. Still quite young. Could probably age for quite some time. This one seemed to be a baby compared to the '69 I had this past summer, which was drinking great!

If I had a bottle in my cellar I would sit on it for quite some time before I consumed, or open now and decant and enjoy over 6-8 hour period.
