Dibbs Likes this wine: 96 points
October 3, 2021 - This is the quintessential Las Cases that everyone complains about not being ready yet and having the structure over finesse.
The wine isn't at its prime yet but starting to get there. It was drunk over a 5-6 hour period and it got better for the first 2 hours or so and kept at a plateau for the rest of the night. It paired really well with food. As DJHammond notes that this is a more intellectual wine rather than a hedonistic experience like the 1990. This wine isn't sexy, it is just impressive as hell. The volume and length of the wine are mindboggling at almost 40 years of age. This is built for another 20 years easy and it is only going to get better from here but the peak is still at least 5-10 years away.1 person found this helpful 3,895 views
