Community Tasting Note

  • McKraftyWino Likes this wine: 96 points

    June 3, 2016 - When first tasted from Riedal Bordeaux Somm glass, it was too tight, too constricted.
    So then tried from a Zalto Bordeaux glass. excellent!
    i was shocked at how much better it presented.
    i normally prefer wines in Big Bordeaux Somm glasses however for this wine, for this time, the Zalto was clearly better.

    actually i use Somm glasses (since BIG) except for special occasions and special wines! for that pic i sometime have to laugh at the crazy supply/demand hysteria of some wines and so i went 'old school' on my wine consumption technique!
    (and you might note that was a 3/4 full bottle of Screaming Eagle! Just had to dispel any rumors of my being a wine snob!!)
