Community Tasting Note

Sunday, March 21, 2010 - Once in a while,be it the time in our lives or the people we are with or what ever, a wine is also there that is memorable and perhaps surreal - this is one of those wines. I have been fortunate to have had the 1947 Haut Brion, La Tache from the 60's and 70's and a few others but this seems to eclipse them all.In the glass a nose to die for - roses, asian 5 spice,pine tar,red fruit, dark fruit and if you wait long enough it seems you can find mushrooms,forest floor - the list goes on. In the mouth a rush of red and dark fruits and Michael Broadbent's peacocks tail - again revealing flavor after flavor with a texture,concentration and finish that is nirvana.Maybe it is a 100 point wine but to me 99 is still nirvana.
