Community Tasting Note

Monday, September 21, 2009 - This bottle was a gift from a birthday 7 years ago; unknown provenance before that. The cork was absolutely
perfect and the wine decanted for an hour prior to dinner. Upon pouring a taste - I just started laughing as
the nose was just spectacularly wonderful - very bright fruit - just joyous. On the palate probably a little
past its peak with perhaps a small amount of VA and medium bodied, but nice texture. The nose on this
is 100 points, the palate and taste closer to 90. Very different from the 83 Margaux which has much more depth and richness. This was slightly overshadowed as the evening progressed by an 82 Conseillante which
I had cellared since 84.
