Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, June 18, 2008 - Ivy Library Tasting Night (Ivy Library, with Jordan and Katy): First impression:

Deep, dark garnet in the glass. Nose: strong tobacco, cedar, smoke, cherry syrup, cassis. Palate: med+ tannins, not super-tannic. Med+ body, med acid, bitter. 89pts.

After 5 hrs:

Opened up into mushrooms on the nose, vaguely reminiscent of the 82 Calon Segur (also in St. Estephe). Good stuff, but missing a lot of fruit, punch. It was better when it was newly opened. Fresher acidity and all that.$34, 88. Doesn't have the structure that I would expect from a young Bdx (2003 was HOT).
