2009 Château Smith Haut Lafitte
11/26/2023 - BillStensrud Likes this wine: 99 Points
This wine needs a half hour in a wide decanter. Rich and concentrated with dark fruit, blueberry, fig and plumb. Long polished and pure with a finish that never ends. Tannin is still present but has sweetened and leads to a marvelous LONG finish. Will last for many years.

2005 Château Léoville Las Cases

Very dense with leather blackberry and black cherry flavors. Quite tannic upon opening. Decanted for an hour and it needed a little more. By the end of the meal it had opened up magnificently. Next time I will decant earlier. Will be perfect in 10 years. Hope I make it.

Might be the best Brunello in my cellar though I ha dozens of 2010s. Smooth and delicious. Probably nearly perfect age right now
