Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 2, 2013 - Mostly Bordeaux, starring '82 GPL, '75 LLC and '88 Climens (Mr. and Mrs. Vino's): Decanted several hours before drinking. Dark red/purple. Cassis, berries, cedar, mint, floral notes made for a more complex and Bordeaux-like nose than the 2003 Pontet Canet, but not in the same ballpark with the 1982 Grand Puy Lacoste or 1975 Leoville Las Cases. Medium body, smooth palate feel, excellent balance, some nice complexity, flavors follow the nose, long finish with a bit of green peeking in but not obtrusive, outstanding.
