Saturday, April 23, 2011 - Older Bordeaux (Chez Glowa - Bethesda, MD): This was popped and slow-ox'd for about 2 hours prior to service. In retrospect, this should have been thrown in a decanter for a couple hours. Drank alongside a selection of Bordeaux from the '60s, '70s, and '80s this wine stood out as a brute. This is truly a monster wine with an explosive nose, dense body, and long finish. The nose exploded with meat, rich plum and cherry with mushrooms and tobacco leaf. Palate was incredibly rich and dense with silky cherry, smoked meats, smokey plums and tobacco. Incredible length on the finish - no question that this will improve for quite some time. No rush here!
