Community Tasting Note

Thursday, November 10, 2022 - The University Club NYC "Joy of Wine" 2022 event

I rarely present notes with food as I believe wine is best judged solo, but at an event like this where food flavors loom so heavily I felt the need to disclose.

At 16 years we have here a 2nd growth which can hold its own against any 1st growth wine. The nose is aged black fruits, some raisin, aged leather, dark cherry bordering on prune. In mouth the flavors are younger with cherry, tobacco, compote and a finish which includes mushroom and cigar ash. Truly complex and certainly perhaps well matched with the Roast saddle of Lamb. The wine kept changing which is why I think the need to disclose food. What can be better than aged Las Cases......... Not much !

Palate is silky smooth. feminine, complex, leather, aged bordeaux, nice tannin structure and very very long and luxurious. Long dry finish with a touch of tannin dryness.

Very satisfied with this wine and would buy again.
