Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, August 25, 2009 - VTS fill. Cork stained 90% up on all sides, otherwise perfect. Decanted 10 minutes. Clear medium ruby-garnet, lightening at the rim. Evolved bouquet of underbrush, roast game, and camphor. A hint of sweet red fruit, which vanished with too much swirling. Great purity and smoothness on the palate pushed the score into outstanding territory, barely. Of the 1981s I have tasted within the last two years, I enjoyed this slightly more than Cos or Ducru, but not quite as much as Mouton or Haut Brion. 90 points.
