Community Tasting Note

Sunday, May 4, 2014 - Quick double decant at 3PM and started drinking around 7. Light sediment left high shoulder fill after small sip. Then slow ox. In its early drinking window and already a fascinating wine showing classic BDX flavors and aromas of tobacco, lead pencil, black currants and licorice. Long on a sophisticated focused, elegant midweight frame.This is NOT youthfully primary or oaky. There are already marvelous layers to this wine on the palate and nose both. Let's face it though. This IS an anomaly for LB and I'm happy it is at age 58. I have 2 more btls and will not drink the next one for at least another 5 years to see where this goes. Only beef right now are the still slightly out front tannins but they're not a big deal either. I bought recently for $129. This easily drinks like the $300 plus 1st growths. A rare budget buster for me but worth every penny.
