Community Tasting Note

95 Points
Tuesday, January 12, 2016 - 66 Bordeaux dinner (Ripple Restaurant in DC): This is a very complete mature claret and very PB, ie more black fruit driven, round and generous. Beautiful harmonious nose displaying cassis, lead pencil, cedar and caramel. Excellent concentration, warm and round, sweet opulent cassis driven palate impression and lovely long finish. Very harmonious and exceptionally balanced wine that is drinking beautifully. According to Ken, very poor ratings by critics. I highly recommend. The dry red wine of the night for me.
