Community Tasting Note

  June 3, 2016 - Still youthful, no bricking at the edge. Beautiful, full, ripe nose of earl grey tea, dark red fruit, glycerin, and a high quality impression of French oak. Great balance here on the nose. On the palate the tannins are silky smooth and there's just the right hit of acid (that came out wrong). I keep going back to the bombastic nose. A real beauty but not much as far as anything tertiary yet. Open two hours now and the fruit is still precise and far from pruney. I would think the '03 Mernet has at least eight years of positive evolution to it. Wish I had one more. Drink by 2025.
