Community Tasting Note

Sunday, April 21, 2024 - Decanted 45 mins, put back on the bottle and off to dinner in Santa Monica. Aroma exploded in a good way. Flavor typical lovely Bdx. Lots of tobacco, leather and mostly olive tapanade. Lovely. Great balance in super flavor. However, after an hour it started to fall apart. More tannins crept in and the fruit subsided, became somewhat course. Seemed it was not exactly ideal storage, bought this a year ago.

In perfect shape I'd say would be a great wine. This bottle was so until it wasn't! Great QPR that beats any new world cab by 1,000,000%
