First time trying a CLB La Rom, a once in a lifetime kind of wine courtesy of a very generous friend. Strawberry cream. A deluge of unstoppable layers upon layers of strawberries that protrudes without ceasing. Linear, persistent strawberries w/ pinching acidity n spices. The level of focus on this wine simply commands respect. This bottle continued to soar over the 5+ hours lunch, never showing any sign of declining.

So beautiful and so pure. This wine is like a liquid sweet red candy sprinkled with a Vosne spices. So damn pretty. This wine reaffirms that I like Sylvain > Sebastian's wines and that Cathiard RSV is probably the best RSV in the world (i have not tried Leroy's)

Calming nose of hazelnut and bruised apple. Bruised apple, almond, honey, with a tad of butter on the palate. Just delicious
