Community Tasting Note

99 Points

Friday, March 12, 2004 - Seattle Tasting Group does 1990 & older Bordeaux (Seattle, WA, USA): Holy crap, this wine is amazing! Dominant notes of cedar are tinged with tobacco, roasted plum, and lead pencil. On the palate this is just unreal, a revelation. This is so youthful yet so complex, powerful and long. Whenever I tasted this wine I had the equivalent of wine-induced Turets syndrome, as I would swear uncontrollably. The 7 tasters rated this as 98, 98, 99, 97, 95+, 95 and 96, the WOTN.
