Friday, January 14, 2022 - A small gathering - 02 Lignier MSD VV, 82 and 86 Mouton, 96 Giacosa Asili (Undisclosed location in McLean, VA): Expressive youthful nose displaying intense concentrated black fruit, strong crème de cassis, blackberry, liquid smoke, ink, caramel, lead pencil, dark spices and earthy mineral. Exceptional concentration, layers upon layers of intense concentrated black fruit, unctuous but also silky and fluid, bright acidity and mineral, noticeably but fine tannins and a long concentrate cassis fruit driven finish with lead pencil at the end. This is bigger than the 82 but not as detailed. It is also decisively younger than the 82. I seem to prefer the 86 over the 82 in the past few years.
