Community Tasting Note

Monday, January 18, 2016 - 15 Vintages of Cos d'Estournel (Ripple - Washington, DC): A rich, brooding nose of black currants, even some blueberry, along with roasted almond and scorched earth. Full, rich, opulent, densely tannic and chewy on the palate. Chewy blackberry and dark currant, the rich fruit is matched with complex elements of coffee, earth, gravel, exotic spice, incense, leather. Chewy but velvety, smoky but nuanced, teeth-staining but exciting. Needs so much time in the cellar, but it's interesting to taste this beast so young.
