Community Tasting Note

JonnyG Likes this wine:

Saturday, April 11, 2020 - A Bordeaux Deep Dive, With Proper Social Distancing; 4/11/2020-4/12/2020 (The Virtual World of Zoom): Neck and neck with a 1990 Lynch-Bages served alongside it. Both were in fantastic shape. That typical mature Bordeaux nose of cigar box, pencil lead and old leather, with muted fruit notes lurking too. Well structured, balanced and vibrant. A glycerined texture, showing black currant, some fennel and mild herbal notes. Strong acidity and structure reflecting its tannins too. I loved the wines intensity. As with the 1989, fully mature but not yet in a tertiary phase. Will hold at this level for decades.
