one of the better Lorings from the 09 vintage so far. more of the rich RRV flavor that I enjoy and less of the hot grapey flavor that can come through on some of these wines. rich and pleasant mouthfeel and an enjoyable cocktail wine.

very dark, with great spice on the nose. Much more youthful in appearance and taste than expected for a 40 year old botle of wine. I did not get any of the excrement that the other two did and everyone at the table really enjoyed this. And as surprising, it lasted for several hours with falling off too much. great floral and red fruits, with spice. very nice surprise. this is the first of 12 '71's this year to celebrate and this one will be tough to top.

very nice, mature bordeaux, with earthiness and good fruit going hand in hand.
