95 Points

Saturday, May 2, 2020 - Through an aerator and into a decanter. A bit more than a teaspoon of fine sediment. As typical with Las Cases, plenty of Bordeaux funk initially. 90+ minutes later the wine begins to bloom. Red fruits and flowers on nose with some graphite, tobacco, cedar. On the palate much the same as on the palate with black fruits and some black currant showing. Silky smooth. With proper decanting, ready now and likely over next 7 to 10+ years (and this is still considered an early maturer as compared to the '82 and '86, each of which remain deep in the cellar.
