Community Tasting Note

Saturday, May 23, 2009 - 1996 left-bank Bordeaux tasting with lots more (Richfield, Lam Soon Building, Singapore): This was clearly the Pape Clement. A bit closed at first, but the nose opened up to show modern stylings of coffee, coconut and varnished wood riding above more classic Graves notes of mushroom, earth, boiled herbs and just the tiniest tiniest whiff of sweet flowers. Palate was mellow and gentle and rather plush, with slightly bitterish herbs and spice adding interest to polished cassis tones. A liitle short on power in the finish, but that was made up for in charm - closing off with gentle berry and cherry notes and a nice lingering spiceness.
