Community Tasting Note

  February 23, 2016 - Phenomenal qpr. Excellent showing of Bordeaux, not surprising that it comes from Margaux.
  
  Popped and poured, initial nose of strong black fruit. Attack of black fruit with woody / cedar back pallet notes, long finish.
  
  Nose developed into slight candied cherry and gave way to leather. Attack become more leather and a new car back pallet notes after a couple hours.
  
  The nose and notes did not switch fast, but changed slowly, almost deliberately.
  
  Overall very simple and direct flavors, not a bottle hiding subtlety - but it's showing was so beautiful, smooth, and round that it stands as an excellent wine.
  
  Not past its prime by any means. In fact, I think it's young in character, even thought it's not highly tannic at this point.
