Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 20, 2010 - What a beautiful wine! On the inital pop, it was tannic and a bit astringent, but after 1 hour open (not decanted), that all resolved and the wine blossomed.
It had a lovely, St. Emilion perfume, with good fruit (cherry and blackberries), glyercin and a touch of sweetness on the finish. Drank great for another 2 hours.
We had it with a grilled rack of Australian, which neither clashed nor paired with the wine. Would be better with duck or roast chicken, I think.

This drinks great now but has several years of life left.
Good QPR at our $35 purchase price. (I wouldn't be a big buyer at $70-$100+ bottle I see on Wine Searcher)
