Community Tasting Note

  May 8, 2013 - This was a huge disappointment. I decanted the bottle for over two hours (with periodic tasting sips to see how it was coming along) and it just never opened up and was miserably thin, with a nasty heat on the back-end. I have 3 other bottles, so I will give them some time in the cellar before popping open another one. I've changed my initial rating to an NR.

Bottle shock is N/A as I bought it at Thanksgiving and has been resting in my cellar ever since. Keeping my fingers crossed for the other 3 bottles I have!

For what it's worth, I recently had the 09 M Etain and loved that as well - actually liked it better than the 09 Scarecrow. I certainly thought it was a huge wine, andnot at all reticent. Luckily you have 3 more - Id be shocked if the next o e wasnt totally different.
