Community Tasting Notes 104

    November 16, 2023 - Premier Cru Table (The Fifth Avenue Hotel): Decanted, TCA, showing sublime texture on the palate. Big RIP, but even so I imagine LMHB will still outperform in this vintage.

    July 22, 2023 - Last bottle of a case, most of which was drunk over 15 years ago. In good shape, but time has weakened this bottle and it was in the good but far from great camp.

    June 3, 2023 - Very perfumed, vigorous. Classic leathery HB.

    February 12, 2023 - I'm afraid this bottle was dead. Not corked and not oxidised, just dead.

    February 9, 2023 - Drank at 67
    Sad to say was faded and gone
