Community Tasting Note

92 Points

Saturday, January 12, 2019 - With K&O, vertical of Leoville Las Cases with other wines sprinkled in...This had a brief decant, drank over a couple hours.

Dark red/purple core. Nose of dark fruits, pencil shaving, mushroom and saline notes. Palate showing blackberry, currant, mineral,earth notes. Medium weight and finish.

The wine is still a bit backward at this stage, would have benefited from a much longer decant on this tasting. Definitely has a way to go, would probably be best to try again in a few years. Wine has upside but would let it rest
