Community Tasting Note

Indran Rajendra Likes this wine:

Wednesday, December 24, 2014 - You will be shaking every drop from the glass with this one. It has an opaque core and on the meniscus, at 9 years old, is a hint of mauve suggesting slow ageing and exceptional cellaring. After an hour in the decanter the nose was fully open offering up roses,gravel and a core of black cherries, blackcurrant and raspberries. I must admit to a having a life long preference for this "cusp of maturity" in Bordeaux. The palate was solid, full bodied and elegant. A masculine wine. The tannins were huge but unobtrusive.There was great intensity of fruit perhaps not surprising in this drought year. The length was also exceptional. Coravin first pour. 16 degrees C. Riedel Bordeaux glasses. Delicious. Parker in a tasting this year gives it 96 with a window of 2014 to 2064! The cork was pulled 3 days later at Tetsuya's with the same impressions as above.
