Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, March 1, 2016 - Served double blind at tonight's wine group dinner at Two Chefs. Almost everyone had trouble IDing this as a Bordeaux and frankly I was surprised (but then I knew what it was). And I know this goes opposite of what other CT tasters have said, but the overwhelming consensus of the group - all very experienced tasters -- was that this wine has some good years ahead of it. I've got two more bottles in my cellar, so we'll see. Parker's notes (in 1999) said "this wine will be much more controversial than I had anticipated," and I believe he might be right. His broad window of maturity is 2007-2020. He also said, FWIW, that this was the most concentrated wine produced in Pomerol in 1996.
