Community Tasting Note

Thursday, June 11, 2015 - Clove and black cherry on the nose. Very dense big time extract on the palate, so much so that it is more or less one dimensional. Modern style Bordeaux overdone.

Of course, the 2005 is crazy good!!! We still have several bottles in the cellar that we may wait a few more years to sip.
