Community Tasting Note

Friday, May 7, 2010 - This has always been among the greatest wines I've ever tasted and last night was no exception. Still quite young with a deep garnet color and wonderful smoky, gamey notes on the nose. Needed a good hour after decanting to start to show its stuff and what incredible stuff! Rich and super-concentrated but silky smooth on the palate so even though the wine is huge, it comes across as balanced and elegant at the same time. The glyceril sappiness in the glass is extraordinary and the flavors of rich black fruits with woodsmoke, leathers and game are incredibly delicious. This gorgeous wine is showing some secondary flavor development but has years to go to reach its apogee. Truly one of the world's top wines in a great vintage 98+
