Community Tasting Note

94 Points

Sunday, May 10, 2015 - From a great looking bottle with a 1 cm fill, this wine had a light yellow center and clear rims. After 4+ hours the nose showed acacia flowers, lemon, almond paste, and white stone.

This wine was quite tight when first poured and would have scored around 89-90 for the first couple hours. It was still so young tasting even after 4+ hours in a decanter!

Broadbent speculated that this may be the best LLCC ever. I wouldn't go that far. However, it is up there with the best. It had great weight, lovely balance, and superb persistence.

This particular bottle Would have easily lasted 10 more years and possibly improved. Very impressive!
