Community Tasting Note

Dibbs Likes this wine:

Sunday, September 26, 2021 - This was my second bottle. When opened, the nose was a bit reticent so left it to decant for 30 mins and then poured it back into the bottle. This was the last wine of the night and got to breathe for about 2 hrs in the bottle and developed too much greenness on the nose. It was a bit offputting but further aeration in the decanter mellowed out the greenness a bit but it didn't blow off completely. I think this is a bottle variation as the last bottle I didn't have this issue.

On the palate, it had impeccable concentration and balance. It is drinking at its peak which I think will hold easily for 5-7 years. This is one of the best Las Cases for current consumption given the price is more affordable than 1990 and other big vintages (which is still my WOTY). 93+ 2 points if this was a better bottle with limited greenness.
