Community Tasting Note

Thursday, December 17, 2015 - Cepages Bordeaux Tasting (North End Grill; New York City): Drank at Cepages bordeaux tasting alongside a 1990 Figeac. This was my WOTN. Powerful nose of black fruit, cedar, spice and earth exuding from the glass. The wine appears shockingly youthful and vibrant, and smells the same way. Condition: perfect, decanted. Medium bodied, but muscular with plenty of ripe dark fruit, forest floor, spices, chocolate & tobacco. Wonderfully elegant demonstrating extreme complexity and grace. A big & still somewhat tannic wine that is very much hitting its stride right now. Note the tannins are not grippy but rather are chalky and in no way intrude on one's enjoyment of this delightfully charming elixir. A great wine that shows no signs of decline anytime soon. I wish I had some for my cellar!
