Community Tasting Note

Thursday, February 8, 2018 - Haut Brion Vertical -1998 to 2009 (The Grill Room at the Rosewood DC): While opening the bottle, Assaf mentions that the cork might be slightly tainted with TCA. Initially I am not so sure. Excellent concentration with sweet red fruit, though a bit rough and chunky. About 30 minutes later, TCA was more noticeable. Even if it is not TCA tainted, this will be a point or two lower than the 99 and 01 at this stage. Perhaps the most youthful and long lived wine of the flight.
