Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 5, 2010 - Our host smartly chose to decant this for a very long time and it paid off. By the time dinner came, it had certainly hit its stride. Nose of black currant, anise, tobacco and the right bit of funk. In the mouth, very dark and only slightly subdued fruit - plum and black cherry and nearly chocolaty-sweet tannins, nice long finish with a hint of menthol at the very end. The relative dryness, mouthweight and funk conjured Margaux to the point both the host and I mentioned it simultaneously, but it was a bit more generous in the fruit and that minty finishing note was textbook high-end New World.
