Community Tasting Note

  January 29, 2016 - This 16 year old Bordeaux from St Estephe is fully mature. I tasted it at 14 and it still had some youth about it then. Now, the colour has mellowed from ruby to mahogany still retaining an inky core. The bouquet has several layers with a bottom note of earth,forest floor and decayed wood. There is a top note of violets and roses. There are spices like cinnamon.There is a hint of youthful blackcurrant. The palate is fullbodied which is not surprising as 2000 was one if the greatest vintages in Bordeaux. Well balanced and elegant. Art, history and nature in a glass.
