  Wizards Tasting (The Mooring): Ok. Classic bordeaux. A little lean. 84-86

  Lovely, mature Bordeaux with notes of cedar, cherries, minerals and flowers, with an herbal note rounding it out. Supple texture, still has some life ahead of it, but I don't think it will improve any further.

  Drinking very well right now but still loaded with tannins, a bigger, fruity wine for the region and year but no complaints-this is a great wine from start to finish. I decanted 1 hour since it was tight upon opening.

  Today's Bordeaux (W Hotel, Chicago IL): nose: nice full nose of cedar, tobbacco leaf, cassis, herbal spices and floral tones. really interesting nose that has me continually smelling it to see what more I can pick out
  
  taste: real firm feel with cassis, herbal spices, dark cherries, and floral components. A really pretty feel and taste
  
  overall: a really pretty wine with extremely interesting aromatics and flavors. Nice structure and a good herbal spice finish. It was very interesting to see a 02 performing like this, and I dig it

  NOSE: Some blackberry, earth, smoke. Not very fruit-heavy, in fact, a little austere. Very pretty hints of raspberry candy syrup.
  
  PALATE: A little too acidic. A little too much bitterness. Quite austere, though there is some midpalate fruit when pressed. Medium tannins - pretty good structure. Finish: meh.
  
  ASPECT: Opaque. Dark.

  Talked to LC today at the shop. I probably needed to decant this more, to get a proper opening up. This wine comes from the village of Macau (near the south-east tip of Margaux). I just pickd out the Ch. Barreyre to try tonight. One full day of decanting and this might have made high 80's.
