Community Tasting Note

djhammond Likes this wine:

Thursday, October 28, 2021 - This is surprisingly evolved for a Las Cases, but it does need about 3 hours in the decanter to lose its initial greenness. However, once this is blown off it is a wonderful wine and not typical of the estate. Red cherry, blackberry, blackcurrant and cedar notes are rich on the nose and palate. The tannin has sweetened and it is silky on the mouth with a good balanced finish. I could almost imagine I was drinking a Palmer if I closed my eyes. A lot of the left bank wines from 1998 are beginning to drink at their peak, and I do question whether this wine can stay at its best for longer than 5 or 10 years.
