October 11, 2021 - I have always had a soft spot for LB as it has given much pleasure over the decades. A particular 85 vintage drank in Singapore was a stunner. So at the Saturday soiree after an ethereal 99 Hutton Vale shiraz ( 99 points) and a lovely 99 Rockford Rod and Spur ( 96 pts) i thought i would trump the boys with this big classy bordeaux. Bottle in fantastic condition high neck fill. Virtually no seepage on cork. Pop and out it came. Je regrette mais F@#$King corked. C'est la vie Monsieur Timmy Bird
Second bottle thankfully sound. Dense chewy, savory, blackberry, tar and mint. We probably drank it too fast and too cold. but dont be in a rush to consume good condition bottles, probably needs to be drank when its 50 years old. Superb.1 person found this helpful 4,956 views
