Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, March 23, 2010 - 2000 St. Julien Tasting Dinner (5 wines) (New Buffalo, Michigan): My first time trying this vintage and the 1st bottle of my case of this 2nd growth that I have opened. Decanted for 7 hours. Low sediment. Pencil shavings on the nose. Dark purple color. Perhaps the darkest of any of the 5 St. Juliens. Firm tannins. Notes of charcoal, wet black earth and smokey red fruit. A powerhouse (even in this lineup) and the most backward of the 5 wines. Still it showed great pedigree. Give it time. Parker to start drinking in 2015 but I think it will take longer than that. 94-95+ points.
