Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 9, 2018 - I liked this more than others at the table (though I'm generally more fond of '86 Bordeaux than most), though this feels immensely young and tannic. Tasted from two different bottles - both showing a core of black fruit that's still quite youthful and fresh, accented with cedar, graphite, and a touch of leathery funk (though nowhere near Cordier levels). Time in the glass brings out more low-toned earthy and tobacco notes, though the firm tannin here never seems to soften. This was best with some protein nearby, though more impressive than pleasurable at this point in its life.
