Community Tasting Note

Yiannis Likes this wine:

Sunday, December 29, 2013 - Drank with friends over lunch for my 18th wedding anniversary. As my friend Stefanos T. commented, this was like the 1996 Lynch-Bages squared! The 2 wines showed remarkable similarity but there was more of everything here. More complex aroma, fuller body, longer aftertaste and a potential for further aging that the Lynch-Bages seemed to lack. Cedar, cassis, ink, leather, cherry fruit, graphite and tobacco on the nose. Full-bodied with fine-grained but noticeable tannins, great complexity with multi-layered fruit, perfect balance and a very long aftertaste. Fully justifying its first growth status. Simply amazing wine. Three hours in the decanter proved absolutely useful for the wine to fully express itself.
