Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 25, 2009 - Pratt's Bordeaux table and then some: Earthy, slightly musty nose with blackish fruit. Harmonious and integrated with fairly resolved tannins. Nice interplay between the earthy notes and desiccated fruit. It picks up a touch of tobacco on the finish. Pleasant, but no real oomph. I had two guesses. One was a ’70 St. Julien and if not that, I guessed maybe a poorly stored ‘80’s St. Julien, or, more precisely, an ’81 St. Julien. Given the year and Producer and past experiences with the bottle, I don’t believe it was a pristine bottle. I don’t think it so severe heat, but low and slow exposure. B+.
