Community Tasting Note

Thursday, May 20, 2010 - Philippe pulled this one out blind. Given its ruby red center and clearish rims, I thought it would be an '89 or a '90 vintage. The high intensity nose was impressive from the get-go featuring sour cherries, sandlewood, figs, along with some floral scents.

In the mouth the wine was light and lively with flavors that reiterated the nose. At first the wine was a bit short but its length and depth improved after about 2 hours of air. While this was easily drinkable now, my guess is that it would gain a bit of complexity in the mouth with another 5 to 10 years of age. If that proves true, it could also pick up another rating point or two.
