Community Tasting Note

Monday, July 22, 2019 - Was recommended as one of the better 2006 Bordeaux’s. This wine has improved from last tasting over a year ago. It’s in the drinkable window now. It does have that exotic Cos d’Estornel aroma; along with iron/rusty pipe, pencil lead, black fruits, some oak and Bavarian chocolate mint. Got better after 2 hours of decant and second pour from the glass. Mouth does give black fruits, exotic and very soft; low acid feel. Tannins are there; but thank goodness to compensate for low acidity. This wine is drinking beautifully now; and I wouldn’t hesitate. It’s not in a downward trajectory. However; I wouldn’t hesitate opening it up now. Slight garnet tones tells me it’s not for aging 3 years from now.
