Sunday, July 14, 2013 - Montrose, Bevan, Champagne, Lopez, Castelgiacondo++ (Jane & loren's home): So after a few fast ageing 03's, I thought I would check in on these as I had not had one yet. No worries here. This is drinking well now, but still has a way to go before peak. Slow-oxed for 6 hours. Purple in color. The nose is Bordeaux; cassis, some kirsch, bit of cedar with an under layer of fresh tobacco/earthiness. On the palate, this is awesome. Delicious. Complex yet tightly layered. Cassis, black raspberries, firm tannins, some oak. Long, long finish. Will improve, but I ma glad to have opened one bottle now.
