Community Tasting Note

alanh13 Likes this wine:

Thursday, September 12, 2013 - On it's own: Quite young, a little tannic, tight, green but lots of potential here. Quite an obvious cabernet franc note here.
With braised beef in onion: much more open, very good, hints of much greater Bordeaux. Still young, good fruit, spicy. More merlot-like now.
Afterwards and it tightens up again. This needs more time.
... 8 days later! (transferred to half bottle and stored in fridge): Much more open but still fresh and fruity (strong cassis). Not a hint of oxidation. In fact the tannin is still perceptible when drunk on it's own. These 2005s look like they could live a very long life!
