Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, January 23, 2002 - Historic note (recorded Aug 06). Purple/black on pouring with a dense, opaque core of red. Massive extraction. Rather closed nose despite a triple decant but hints of mulberries, wood smoke (hickory?) and a bit of tobacco. Ripe cassis flavours but very tight; Bordeaux restraint rather than Californian openness. Eucalyptus on the nose after an hour or so and flavour is a bit more forthcoming but still very closed. Great potential - possibly a 96 score - but I wouldn't touch this again until after 2010.
