Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Friday, November 6, 2009 - dark purpple red, color is dull rather than vibrant. Nose is to the New Worl side of Bdx, but not in an oak presence way, moreso primary in the fruit drven aromas, and bit less on teh Bdx herbally type aromas. Clearlyu still a Bdx nose, but the new world aspect is pronoounced. Palate is mid-weight, still with noticeable acidity, but had great curranty, quite minerally flavorrs. Quite nice, but not for the faint of heart, one must enjoy a mineral driven wine, which I do. Medium finish. The wine, while enjoybanle to drink now with a steak, will improve for several years. Not at it's peak yet. Nice wine.
