Community Tasting Note

90 Points

Saturday, May 2, 2009 - This bottle was ex-Mahler-Besse 2007 and it looked pristine. I decanted it for about an hour and a half, but in retrospect, that was not enough. There were no flaws in the wine - it was excellent - yet it somehow never reached the heights, either in aroma or flavor, of the very best examples of '70 Palmer. There was more acidity than usual but not excessively so. It improved in the glass over a couple of hours at the restaurant. I quite liked it, but did not fall in love.
