Community Tasting Note

Monday, March 24, 2014 - Wine Geeks Gathering (Extra Space): Popped and poured from bottle.
Appearance is clear, deep intensity, garnet colour.
Nose is clean, pronounced intensity, with classic Left Bank Bordeaux characteristics. Nice aromas of toasted oak, tobacco, and a bit of blackcurrant.
On the palate, fresh high acidity, just the right touch of medium+ silky tannins, medium+ body, and medium finish. Opened up after about 30 mins to reveal flavours of leafy herbs, sweet blackcurrant, and oak and tobacco notes. However, the fruits faded fast and another hour later, the fruits were going down, with a slight sour note towards the finish. Tertiary notes and nice nose remained.
Conclusion: Drink up this Classic Left Bank Bordeaux now. Don't hold for too long. Beginning to go down.
