Community Tasting Note

ashegedyn Likes this wine:

Tuesday, July 22, 2014 - I was inspired by a recent tasting of Grand Cru wines on Wineberzerkers. They thought most of the wines were ready to drink - and did not have the green notes that most criticize 2004’s for.

Wow were they wrong. Amazing nose of Asian spice, turmeric, raspberry, blackberry, with medium to strong intensity. Many layers here and no tertiary aromas yet.
On taste - a bit of a problem. The tannins are still strong and up front to mid-palate. Good acidity. Great mineral finish - this is very complex wine. A great wine which is not even close to being ready.
Tannins really need to mellow out. Complexity is there but this needs lots of time. Leaving the rest of the bottles alone.
