Wednesday, June 23, 2010 - Wine dinner - Martindale Hall, Clare Valley SA. Awesome lineup: 82 Evangile, 85 Lafite, 86 Yquem, 86 Grange, 88 Meo-Carmuzet Nuits St Georges, 88 Grange, 90 Brunel Centenaire, 95 Dominus, 95 Monte Bello, 96 Hill of Grace, 98 Las Cases, 99 Leoville Barton, 02 Grange, 04 Cristom "Jessie", 04 Torbreck Run Rig.

Las Cases: cork in perfect nick. Double decant 4 hours prior to drinking. Colour inky black-purple. Initial nose of dark black fruits, tar, graphite and minerals. Palate of rich and brooding mulberries and blackberries, some charred meat and a hint of mintiness. Stern but fine tannic finish with tremendous length. A profound wine with its best yet to come.
