94 Points

Wednesday, December 27, 2023 - Decanted 2hrs. While I might have older vintages or older wines that might have more ceiling upside, this was probably the most anticipated bottle I have had over the longest period of time. Started getting serious in wine about 2001 – purchased this in 03-04. Hopefully this makes sense. Happy to report the 00 LP was lovely. Very expressive, XMAS-sugar plums (power of suggestion I’m sure) tobacco leaves and the trade mark No.2 shavings. Great energy but also very caressing on the palate. Feels like the early stages of maturity with many years of good drinking ahead.
