Community Tasting Note

Thursday, August 26, 2010 - Drank a bottle over a long, decadent meal at Blackbird. Initially quite tight, this blossomed quickly into something open and vibrant - much more energetic than the first bottle of my stash, which I remember as soft and muted. While 19 years means a fairly light frame with fully resolved tannins, there are lots of deep, rich aromas of bloody meat here and the whole package delivers a lot more power than it first seems (and it seemed to be picking up steam as we were finishing the bottle). I'm not sure I could have pegged this as rioja over, say, older Bandol.
