December 20, 2020 - I read some of the TNs here and they raise the question I’ve been wondering for close to 20 years...will LLC which has a history of carrying a hard edge ever round out? This is the ONLY Bordeaux property I know where the 86 showed more charm than the 82, such has been the state of the 82....this has been a hold and pray bottling for me. My last tasting was almost 8 years ago, and I’m happy to say this has finally achieved escape velocity. The beautiful bouquet remains, the depth of fruit remains (plums, dark chocolate, coffee, and spice), the tannins have completely melted, and a bright acidity balances the whole affair. Michel Delon, merci beaucoup
