I rarely see Lirac at my store. Usually only on close out. So I have a policy to always buy it out when I see it! This was no different. Got the only 8 bottles in stock. This was very good, but a little different than the usual Lirac. Not as juicy but good structure, very tasty, just not what I expected.

I usually like my CdPs with 6-8 years on them. With that 98 point review stating it could be drunk now, I couldn't resist popping one. It was very, very good, but too young. My other 4 will rest for a few years and I'll stick with my older ones for now.

Opened for my son’s 21st birthday. This has held up incredibly well! Dried cherries, smooth and delicious. Wish I had more than one bottle!
