Community Tasting Note

Sunday, May 9, 2010 - The fill was well into the neck, and the cork was pristine; this bottle looked like it had just come off the line! So the expectations were high. A youthful appearance, with no signs of age on the rim. Classic (but restrained) St Julien bouquet, with scents of ripe dark fruits, cedar and earth. Good concentration, with a firm structure and hefty tannins. Not the opulence or velvetyness that I usually associate with the top 1990 Medocs, but I think it will evolve for years to come. At least I hope so, as there is a half case sitting in the cellar!
