Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 25, 2021 - Dinner at Dibbs's: The awfully green nose reminded me of the Sassicaia 1999 I had a month back but I placed this as a left-bank Bordeaux based on the classic palate that didn't betray much sweetness. I guessed this was a warm vintage from the ripeness of fruit so combining this with the greenness I went for Sociando 03 - oops.

It's funny how both Las Cases I've had so far did not play up to the stereotype of Las Cases being never ready. On the contrary, the 90 and this were full of juicy, ripe red fruits and silky tannins, rather the imposing structured monster that I've been led to believe. Impeccable balance and a richness to the palate that underscored its pedigree, just that the greenness both on the nose and the palate (less so) was rather distracting.
