Community Tasting Note

Friday, June 5, 2015 - Courtesy of Parcival. Deep garnet/crimson core with slight bricking. Opens with a terrific Bordeaux funk, followed by what I refer to as roasted red bell pepper- something I often find in St. Julien and a quality that I absolutely love and by no way use it to mean under-ripe Cabernet. Aromas of lavender, red currants and rose petals, followed by green tobacco and spice box. Very well-integrated at this stage, this is simply elegant and exceptionally balanced. Flavors of red currants, roasted plum, saddle leather, dried herbs and ripe red berry fruit. The finish lasts over a minute, which is the point I stopped looking at my watch. This particular bottle was caught at its absolute peak. Many thanks to Parcival for sharing this beauty.
