95 Points

Tuesday, September 10, 2019 - Heidi's Redux Group (The Kenwood, Mpls, MN): Very dark red color. PNP, drank a glass over 90 minutes. Another killer nose from this wine; a perfume of cigar box, pencil lead, dried woodsy earth, violets and dark fruits. The palate is full bodied, round tannins, cassis, dark cherry, earth, cigar, pencil, dried wood, and a long finish. Always one of my favorite LB's this has been so consistent. Drank next to a pretty phenomenal bottle of '91 Mondavi and it would be so easy to overlook just how good this is. Love this wine, and at a mere 29 years old, it has the structure to give so much more. I wouldn't exactly call it youthful, but it has so much more to give. 94+ to 95pts.
