Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 19, 2016 - Dark black cherry with slight brown hues; Sweet tobaco, sweet red cherry fruit with some exotic spice; Fruit is nicely apparent even at 30 yrs. A touch of cocoa powder and cherry on the palate. Good entry, moderately silky, but with ample fine tannins with good grip; Quite acidic, tangy, but balanced by the structure. This was underwhelming for all the hype. Very solid, built, maybe slightly elevated acidity, but certainly somewhat closed/sleeping at this point. Try again in 10 years (92-95 at that point?). Compare with the '82 which was stunning and showy ( and still cruising along).
Ultra Rare Bordeaux Tasting-Class at Monopole.
