Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, December 31, 2008 - Tried a few 2003s for New Year's with prime rib to see if they are maturing as quickly as some say. Popped and poured. Mistake on both counts. Too soon and should have decanted for several hours. Ok wine.but missing that telltale Margaux nose. Dark purple and earthy with chocolate on the nose. Very little fruit on the palate. Charcoal, earth and coffee on a soft palate. No tannin to speak off. Needs some fruit and oomph. Maybe with time and/or a good lengthy decant.
