Sunday, August 2, 2009 - color: dark ruby
scent: nose of overripe black cherry, earth, licorice and (in the background) a little breeze of mud (or is it vinegar)
palate: medium bodied, round and soft on the palate, evident tannins, matched by correct acidity, medium finish
compared with the Lagrange 1998 we had last week => definitely weaker
