Community Tasting Note

Sunday, September 6, 2015 - First bottle from a case purchased at Christie's in Amsterdam in 2009. An interesting comparison with the 2004 - the difference is most remarkable. Youthful and bright appearance, little or no evolution; young and closed on the nose, lots of high quality (but low toast) oak, completely primary, mineral and precise, spices, black fruit, hint of tar, flowers, very good depth; powerful and energetic palate, mineral and tightly wound, satiny texture, ripe and finely-grained but grippy tannins, excellent balance and structure; complete finish, smoky oak, very good length. Needs more time, drink 2020+.
