96 Points

Monday, February 12, 2018 - This big boy is still as thick as a brick, and probably about 15 years away from its apogee. Feels almost immortal in its firmness. Nose was a bit shy for the first 60 to 90 minutes and it finally started to unfold and release char, roasted cured meat juice, and flowers. Very powerful, very dense, and still as dark as the night. Follows in the footsteps of the 86 Lafite, but I think this one has more give. Lets hope that it maintains freshness while it sleeps. HOLD or decant for 4 to 6 hours.
