Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, January 25, 2012 - 89/90 Bordeaux Retrospective with Hart Davis Hart: Horsey nose, but I was expecting more animal based on previous notes. The fruit here, really rather dark in quality, certainly stood up to the barnyard. Even more convincing on the palate though, picking up some great earthen, clay notes as well. Lovely wine, but still mouth-puckering tannin. Drinking beautifully, but will go for years on this level.

Stylistically, this is of course different than the '89, but I'm not sure that qualitatively either outmatches the other. Both excellent. Just different.

4+ to 5-
