Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 16, 2007 - This is what I am looking for in aged Bordeaux. The bottle was purchased last year from Premier Cru and was in outstanding condition (they bragged "perfect" in their description); level bottom neck, clean label and capsule, cork very moist and properly firm. There's definitely some brown in the color and the nose is shy at first, but eventually yields cedar of course, but also earth, saddle leather, dried leaves and dried currants. In the mouth, smooth, round, decisive notes of a wine deep into its secondary phase; i.e., no fresh fruit, yet really complex and "confident," as Michael Broadbent might say. Positive finish and not too acidic. The tannins have melted and it's a treat to drink if you're an old wine fanatic.
