April 17, 2024 - At Wine Group Dinner 203, Harveys Bistro - 2009 Left Bank. This bottle opened with an initial closed nose that opened in the glass to reveal blackcurrants, black raspberries and cherries, cedar and charcoal, dark chocolate and lead pencil. The palate is finely constructed with beautiful linearity yet the fruit has a richness and mouthfeel that balances the austerity. Over time the line of rich fruit becomes more apparent and persistent into the wonderful pure finish. A classic long distance Las Cases.

December 15, 2023 - Decanted 8 hours. Still young but such a great future ahead. Rich, layered with lots of tannins. Classic claret cab but with so much depth. Delicious.

June 10, 2023 - What a wonderful drinking experience, beautiful blackberry nose, with hints of blackcurrants, nicely mixed with mineral flavors in the direction of silex. Perfectly balanced, very smooth tannins, medium+ bodied, with immense depth and complexity. Leaves a beautiful silky mouth feel for quite a long time and raises the urge for more.. just fantastic.
