  Six years since I last opened one of these and it still sings beautifully! Nose of pencil shavings, floral notes, dark fruit. Still dark in the glass with just the beginning of bricking along the side of the glass. I think I have one left. I opened 5 wines at a restaurant party with 8 others and this was the last one opened. It was the Wine of the Night.

  Dense Cabernet aromas, touch of mint.
  Sleek and elegant but not the same depth as the other vintages. Good fruit but a tad short. The weaker vintages shines through, still very nice.

  Ruby. Nose has tobacco, dark chocolate, cherries, some pyrazines. Palate is dark fruit, spices, tannins still a bit harsh. Fruit is getting lighter but tannins not resolving. MB, MA, MT, MF

  Perfect fill. PNP. Dark color with a much younger look than expected for its age. Classic Bordeaux nose. Pretty good right out of the bottle with maybe 20 -30 minutes needed to fully open. Very nice, classic Bordeaux that is very enjoyable to drink with food. A bit short on the finish, and not the concentration of the better vintages, but this is very nice for the vintage and its age and I would happily drink more well stored bottles of this. Would be drinking now. A-

  Fantastic. This wine is going nowhere. I agree with previous comments: tobacco and spice, hints of black fruit. Quitessential Las Cases, though not the power of better vintages. Perfect pairing with grilled lamb chops. Bottle and glass decant only - 90 minutes was fine. A full decant should be moderate length if chosen. It needs only moderate exposure at this point.
