Community Tasting Note

93 Points

Wednesday, March 18, 2009 - March Bordeax Tasting (Waterford Wine Company): Garnet-purple hue, intensity on the plus side of medium. Fragrant, forward nose of black fruits, creme de cassis, pronounced herbaceous notes, rich tobacco and cedar with an underlying earthiness...a lot going on here! Medium body. The palate is greeted with beautiful, pure flavors of currants and cassis, dark fruits, earth, minerals, and fresh cedar that's nicely framed with a faint kiss of toasty oak. Such great balance, with nice harmony between the chewy tannins and acidity. Moderate-plus finish. This Mouton is still quite youthful and should only improve with another 8-13+ years in the cellar.
