Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 23, 2021 - Tasted blind. Long decant of 5-6h, then consumed over 3 days. Sweet red berry fruit beautifully woven into aging notes of wet earth, sous-bois and layered with fine, sweet floral notes, herbal notes of dried tea leaves. Only traces of darker berries to be found. Incredibly decliate, feminine and sophisticated. On the palate fresh with lots of acidity otherwise well built with smooth even if very much present tannin. The floral aromas move more and more to center stage over time in the glass, although the fresh, sweet and perfumed notes transformed into dried flowers by day 3. Had this next to the 1989 and while on the first day I had a clear preference for this over the more muscular and less sophisticated 1989, it ended up being a tie by day 3.
