Community Tasting Note

vagrantone Likes this wine:

Saturday, July 17, 2021 - I used this bottle to top the other three.
cork was in decent condition given the age of the wine.
Some amber but overall a hue I would associate with a 50 year old bottle.
The aromas are really lovely while almost entirely on the tertiary side: tobacco,gravel, spices, very little soy given the age of the wine.
Really nice mouthfeel given good underlying acidity and just a little tannin. This combination has clearly kept the wine alive nicely.
The wine was unlabelled and was narrowed down to either the '28 or the '34 and it's clearly not a '28, so...
Very classy St Julien showing Leoville in its most favorable light.
Drink over next 5-8 years.
