Monday, August 16, 2021 - Fabulous bottle of this. Silky and so refined with a layered texture and great flavors of black fruits and sweet gravel. The lean style of LB matches so well with the ripe and full ‘90 vintage creating a classic aged Bordeaux experience. The finish is fresh with excellent mineral grip and superb spice and earth-driven complexity. Fully mature but on a long-term plateau. Just fabulous with Lobel’s rack of veal.
