Community Tasting Note

Thursday, December 15, 2022 - I'd been seeking this wine out for a while and it certainly did not disappoint. On pop n pour, this why showed that it subtly needed some air through it's understated structure and slight tartness. But immediately brimming with complexity. Absolutely lovely and classic Bordeaux. Pencil shavings, bit of cigar box. Just intoxicating nose. Try as I might though, I couldn't quite coax much of an extra gear out of this. It felt like it was sitting on the precipice of exploding out of the glass but never quite did. It stayed a touch reserved. Although I had a few tastes with food later in the evening that did take a step up. I am starting to believe that Las Cases is one of the few aged Bordeaux that I believe truly benefits from a decant and I will do that on my next bottle.
