95 Points

Saturday, June 27, 2020 - At Steve C's for his 78th BD. Finally a sound bottle after the TCA fest of 3 or 4 corked ones from my cellar. Gorgeous, classic St.Julian Las Cases nose of brooding red fruits, beef blood, and pencil/cigar box. Still a bit of tannic grip but mostly resolved, this should go another decade without a problem. Great depth and persistence on the very serious effusive finish. Awesome, suave mouthfeel with a nice mineral grip, perfectly balanced acidity and ripe, lush fruit. Best showing of this wine I can remember, this still has bags of life left. 95+ and my WOTN just edging out the 2002 R.Trapet Chambertin, and 2008 Cristal that we started out with.
