Community Tasting Note

  October 11, 2015 - A slightly disappointing bottle given my expectations. Upon opening, a concentrated nose of black fruits, pencil shavings, graphite, and a nickel-like minerality with a hint of raw maduro tobacco. On the palate, a little bit of brett-with a somewhat unpleasant barnyard aftertaste that overpowered the fruit. Better with a juicy and fatty burger.
  
  Softened the next day but I still couldn't get past the funk on the palate. Looking forward to the next bottle--this wasn't bad, but it felt as though a great deal was lingering under the funk and unable to get out.
  
  EDIT: Polished the last half glass after 24 hours. Beautiful blue and black fruit finally emerging. At this stage, it's a 95+ point stunner of a Right Bank Bordeaux.
