Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 19, 2010 - Our first crack of the 99 MB, with another 6 left. Will be holding those other bottles for quite a while after this showing, which did not leave me convinced this was in a drinking window. After decant and opened for about four hours, it did show many classic MB attributes (perfumed nose, pencil lead, beautiful fruits, etc). I did think it was showing some wood as well as tannic strength. Don't get me wrong, excellent wine to be sure, but far away from drinking window. Will be interested to taste this when it presents in a 'softer' profile.
