Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 4, 2014 - From a bottle stored by a friend in mostly appropriate conditions, this wine had a bottom neck fill. It had a purple/red center and red rims with a hint of orange. The medium+ intensity nose focused on black fruits, cassis, clove, and brown spices.

In the mouth, this wine was rich and ripe, as expected, but also balanced with light rounded tannin. The '82, and certainly the '86, were much more closed at this age. The length and richness were very impressive.

While this is great now, I would venture to say this will be even better in 10 to 20 years. I would expect it to pick up a couple points from an already exalted level.
