Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 24, 2012 - Once in Lifetime...: From magnum, decanted approximately 20 minutes prior to service, light garnet with medium brick at the rim. Cork was finicky and had to be pushed in to the bottle. At first, I found this to be extremely reticent, especially compared to the ’71 Romanee Conti served alongside it, that was just roaring out of the glass. Over the course of the evening, this really unraveled nicely, offering up notes of red fruits, earth, undergrowth, dried herbs, baking spice, and a touch of pepper. On the palate, very understated with a leaner mouthfeel, and like notes from nose echoing on the palate through to the moderate finish. This seems a bit tired, but overall, still a pleasure to taste.
