Community Tasting Note

• pablopilot Likes this wine: 95 points

  October 26, 2017 - What is wrong with this wine? Nothing! It is not sneaky... it comes at you with very little subtlety and lots of flash. But nothing overbearing. Friendly, gregarious, universally popular. Recognizably Bordeaux. It reeks of prunes and ripe plums and dark cherries and, I dunno, orange rind? Plenty of acid and just that hint of bitterness. Looong finish. Will it get better? Who cares? I'm drinking mine now. It might be at it's peak. But then again... It definitely will not dry out any time soon, there is still that bit of tannic bite to it that I can imagine gradually receding over the next, say, five years. I'm going to have to try some of my other '05s...
