Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 25, 2011 - Tasted at the 'Double Helix' in the Venetian with fellow wine connoisseur/drinking buddy who coincidently happened to be in Vegas at the same time. On the nose you know exactly where you are. Here we have the hallmark bordeaux funk on the nose laced with ripe cassis. On the palate seamless from front to back. moderate acidity, meaty undertones, dark cherries and the semi-sweet cassis tranistions to pencil lead notes. A lingering finish leaves you wanting more. Coming from a hot vintage, signs of heat are nonexistent. The merlot absolutely steals center stage here. An amazingly smooth wine, flawlessly executed, ready now for consumption This is serious bordeaux. Similar quality to high classified cru wines at half the price.
