Community Tasting Note

Friday, March 20, 2020 - Paired against a 1994 Penfolds Bin 707 and consumed at the Botanic Gardens restaurant (Cheers SJR!) in Adelaide. Decanted and drunk with a 4 course degustation, the LB was WOTN for mine.
Whilst lacking the depth of colour of the Penfolds (which after 26 years was still inky black), the LB inspired from the moment it graced the nose. Not as strong on the palate as the 707 it nonetheless teased the senses with hints of a long and subtle journey to maturation. The 707 started to get into its stride towards the end of the evening, and, I suspect, a long decant might have made WOTN a much tougher call. The LB is drinking beautifully now - the 707 could easily go another 5 years
