Community Tasting Note

85 Points
Thursday, February 3, 2011 - Really nice Pommard-driven nose with coffee and petrol notes plus massive lillies. Really enticing! Flavor falls completely flat. Very light, major drop-off mid palate and almost no finish to speak of whatsoever. Major disappointment. 93 pt. nose, 79 pt. flavor. I'll give it an 85 overall.
