  07145/28245, with five fingers of ullage and somewhat tawny-ish color. First pour shows mushroom, autumn leaves, Chinese tea, herbal medicine and even like a sherry. With thirty minutes of air, however, the red dates, focused Vosne spice, fruit jam, meaty and chocolate character come back. Quite delicate and fine, showing classic LT structure and fineness (this is an instance where LT is LT really means it). 93-94

  A touch of volatility to the nose and slightly cheesy at first. Opened up nicely in the glass to show notes of chestnut, Hoisin and smoked meats. It had a sweet mid-palate and fine acid line driving the finish.

  Not as sharp or expressive as another bottle from the same case, but overall quite elegant for the first 30 minutes. 95-96-

  My favorite bottle from this tasting. Perfect condition with so much live left in the bottle. Surprised at how vibrant it still is and still preserving the primary red fruits together with the acidity. Very elegant and instant bottle kill. On the nose that old tea leaves also is a killer.
