Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 14, 2014 - This has the designs to be a very special wine, and possibly one of the best values of 2009. On opening, there were dark fruits; however, it was harsh and almost sharp on the palate. I then decanted for 5 hours, and everything changed. The nose evolved into a complex array of dark plum, blackberry, mocha, cinnamon, clove, a hint of green pepper, and wet river stone. The wine didn't disappoint on the palate either, but the nose dominated. Full bodied with grippy, firm tannins. Acid is perfectly balanced. There is absolutely no palatal fatigue when drinking this wine; even while this is highly enjoyable, it is going to be a classic Bordeaux in 20-30 years.
