Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 19, 2009 - Color:clear, ruby red with a touch of browning/bricking on the edge and a pale haloed rim. Nose of deep dark fruit, tobacco, red cedar, licorice and oak. This wine is drinking beautifully for a 45 year old bottle that had been perfectly stored. Tasting notes similar to nose as well as overripe plums. Tastes like an aged classed Bordeaux.
Everything is in balance, the tannins have softened and the fruit is still there. A beautiful bottle, that last of a bygone era. A pleasure to have had. Served with Porterhouse steaks, lobster mushrooms, caramelized onions and mashed potato.
Used a filter/screen to pour directly into the glass, but the bottle did not throw off a lot of sediment. The cork had no markings and the foil Ignlenook capsule was a bit loose.
