Community Tasting Note

Friday, October 4, 2019 - Just lovely. Writing from memory this evening.

Opened and decanted at restaurant. A bit of funky nose to start where we weren’t totally sure if we got a good one....

Funk blew off within a few minutes and it only kept getting better. Delicious. Everything was balanced and integrated. Easy to drink. Smooth, velvety, fresh and alive. I guess I haven’t had too many (good) older Bordeaux so I can only say what it wasn’t. Didn’t taste dusty or musty. Tannins nor alcohol stood out in a detracting way. Fruit was still fresh tasting, ripe, sweet, not watery, but muted in a pleasant way. Medium acidity. I didn’t really notice developed secondary flavors, just about lovely subtle red and sweet black fruit, and earthiness. I wouldn’t have imagined this was a 33 yr old wine. It was lovely to the last drop. It tasted fresh but muted reflecting its maturity.
