Community Tasting Note

Saturday, July 3, 2010 - From my cool cellar, this still looks deep blue with no browning. The nose was fresh, beguiling, and showing no burnt character. It seemed sweet and full initially and it was only after several sips that the full charge of tannins made their presence. Yes, the tannins might be a tad over-weight, but the wine is still in sufficient balance as there is little obvious acidity, though it must be present judging from the colour. Being only so-so about the 03's this has to be amongst my favourites along with Fourtet and Pontet (haven't yet breeched the St Estephe contenders). A delightful surprise. Good another 10 years?
