93 Points

Wednesday, December 16, 2020 - Little bricking, little sediment. Decanted for 1 hour before first sip, then drunk over 90 minutes. A nice surprise. This slugged far above its weight class. It had the polish, complexity and long finish of LMHB. All this from a so-so year. The wine really started to sing with fruit and tobacco, cedar and currants. Moist earth, dust, moist leaves, on the nose. Fairly long finish. Hard to believe that this bottle bought by chance when stopping at the Chateau without an appointment would end up being so great 26 years later. Wish I had more -- still plenty of gas in the tank.
