Community Tasting Note

Monday, January 24, 2011 - UGC 2008 Bordeaux (The Drake, Chicago IL): nose: elegant and balanced nose filled with red currants, berries, green peppers, spice tones, red cherries and bits of tobacco. Well layered and aiming more for finesse on the nose

taste: gorgeous and silky medium feel with medium+ acidity and velvety tannins set the base. Polished feel with finessed tones of red currants, berries, spice tones, red cherries and some bits of green peppers

overall: the tannins on this may deceive. This will need a good amount of time to fully round itself together and be as beautiful as it can be. This is one of the wines that really caught my attention in a good way
