Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

94 Points

Monday, December 31, 2012 - 12.5% ABV. Decanted for about an hour. Could probably have used considerably more as it's still coming alive as I write. Garnet with a hair's width of bricking. Lovely but restrained St Julien black fruit and woodland nose. Hints of tea and chocolate. Classical but never boring. Balanced and appealing; real depth of character. Lip smacking acidity. Really, really long and beautiful finish which gets better with every sip.

This one really grows on you. This note started as a 92!
