Community Tasting Note

  May 22, 2007 - Excellent condition given that the previous bottle tried a year previous was a bit musty. Vivid claret robe to the edge with no hint of browning. A lovely classic nose of cedar, graphite and tobacco. Supple and smooth on the palate. Mouthfilling yet light. Suprisingly classic in style with muted fruit considering the reputation of the vintage. No overripe notes of plum or raisin. Typical secondary notes of herbs and minerality with plenty of backbone remaining. This has thrown a heavy sediment but still has some tannin in reserve. Nicely balanced and silky. Will last but I'm not sure the fruit will return unless it emeges from a second dumb phase.
