Community Tasting Notes 2

October 9, 2005 - Tasting of 80's Bordeaux at Seattle Wine Storage (Seattle, WA): There was some debate as to whether this wine was corked, so a second bottle was opened. The first showed somewhat darker color. The nose is resinous with some mint. I thought it was pretty clearly corked even before the second bottle was opened. The second bottle has more of a green hue with a distinct Sauvignon Blanc personality, lots of acid and a nice, slatey mineral thing. The 85 point score is for the second bottle.

October 9, 2005 - Tasted this wine as the precursor to several great red Bordeaux. Two bottles were actually opened. Everyone agreed that the first was corked. The first bottle had a hint of musty cardboard in the middle of the nose. The second bottle had a similar nose but it blew off after 20 or 30 minutes and evolved into an incredible grassy / flinty aroma. On the palate this was full and rich with nice fruit and acidity and long finish.
