Community Tasting Note

93 Points

Monday, December 21, 2009 - The Colonel's Xmas Party (The Hide, London Bridge, London, UK): Decanted for a short while, although not really long enough, the nose was full of fruit with some savoury notes showing a glimpse of the future farmyard tones, quite concentrated purple colour almost out to the rim, the dark blackberry fruit muscling into your mouth leaving a twang of tar behind it, very full in the mouth with the tannins competing with the fruit for your attention which indicates its youthfulness, i'm a fan of the Leoville style, other found it a bit of a monster, would happily leave this for another 5 or more years before opening
