Community Tasting Notes

Saturday, October 24, 2009 - 2006 Bordeaux Tastings; 10/24/2009-11/1/2009: Lighter nose than SHL - slightly estery nose at first, but that blows off. Palate is tannic and deep- refined red fruits and gravel. Tightly wound but pretty, needs time. When retasted later - a little more funk/earth on the nose. Very structured, perhaps moreso even than LMHB and HB; darker fruits here too. Hits alongside the big boys (but a bit less approachable now), at a fantastic QPR price. Perhaps the toughest to identify blind as a Graves, but this compares very well to top Pauillacs and St. Juliens, in my opinion. 93-95.
