Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 2, 2013 - Mostly Bordeaux, starring '82 GPL, '75 LLC and '88 Climens (Mr. and Mrs. Vino's): Decanted several hours prior to drinking and consumed over 4 hours. Solid red core, lightening at rim with just a little bricking. Killer complex classic aged Bordeaux nose with cassis, cherry, cedar, tobacco and tea leaves, wet earth. Medium bodied, well balanced, flavors and complexities follow the nose with the classic sweet aged Bordeaux palate, a little harsher finish than the 1982 Grand Puy Lacoste. After about an hour the wine turns tougher and more rustic, but then returns to its former self. I don't think it was my palate as others noted the same, and the other wines being drunk were not undergoing a similar change. This waxing and waning went on through the evening. When the wine was on it was outstanding, with fading back and forth to very good/excellent.
