Community Tasting Note

• Collector1855 wrote: 87 points

  September 16, 2016 - 66x Parker 100-Pointers from Bordeaux 1947-2010 tasted blind (Switzerland): Tasted blind. Dark purple. Nose of dark fruit, dried fruit with an oxidative touch, I am already bracing for the palate after detecting these Madeira/oxidative notes. The palate confirms my fears, full bodied with aromas of rum pot appearing. Drying tannins on the finish. May be it is the bottle, more likely it is the producer (given the many defects the Gerard Perse wines showed at this tasting). In any case, I cannot give this bottle more than 87 points, especially after having just seen what Petrus and Le Pin did in 2009 with their raw material. This was the second worst wine of the two days. Group score: 15.50, group rank: 62/64
