Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 20, 2009 - The fill was into the neck and the cork was sound; opened about 1 hour prior to service. A murky purple core with some amber at the rim. The bouquet was quite distinctive, proudly offering up notes of ripe dark fruits, barnyard, saddle leather and wood. In the mouth, a very concentrated wine, with the wood playing a much more prominent role, but no astringency or harshness. Not as round or voloptuous as some of the greats from this ripe vintage. Overall, a fine mature Bordeaux, but on this night, the '89 Grand Puy Lacoste performed slightly better.
