Community Tasting Note

88 Points

Tuesday, May 21, 2013 - Someone brought this to dinner a tasting at a friends house and I think the travelling had an effect. We let it stand for 3 hours before opening, but from the stain on the inside of the bottle, you could see that there was a lot of sediment. The nose was complex, but more closed than I would have expected and without the purity I was expecting. Reminded me a bit of the disappointing 94 I had a few Xmases ago. Lots going on in the mouth, but I think the sediment was getting in the way and this in the end was nothing more that a good, but not great, old Bordeaux. Love to try it again though from a bottle that had either been left to stand or had been properly decanted.
