Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 25, 2009 - Pratt's Bordeaux table and then some: A bit of a polarizing bottle. Some folks at my table had this as their favorite wine of the night. I found it a completely atypical and not so good a showing. Normally, this wine shows a dry port-like character that’s just dense and maybe a little too much in character. I actually usually prefer the ’89 to it, but this wine is never really a slouch. Yet I found this bottle to show a lot of greenness, most especially from the wood tannins. I found precious little fruit here and even very little Brett, which this wine normally exhibits plenty of. There are still some things to like here, but this is unlike any showing I’ve had of this wine. Doesn’t seem like bad storage. Perhaps barrel variation? B+/B.
