93 Points

Friday, August 13, 2010 - Drunk alongside 90 Troplong Mondot and 90 Forts de Latour. Decanted 1hour before serving. Colour was rich red with no hint of brown. Brightest colour of the trio. On the nose, plenty of St Julien freshness, spices and a trace of mint. Taste was complete, rich fruit and still plenty of tannin on the end. Lovely wine but lacking a little complexity and finish because it was not completely evolved. This one is a keeper it will last another 10 years at least. Classic claret with a great future still ahead. My WOTN but nobody else agreed! Perhaps it's because I love LB wines so much.
