Duty free purchase in Thailand (for roughly 1/4 my local retail) so presumably not stored with regard to temperature for however long? Copper tinged. In comparison to the ‘03 version tasted a few times recently this was entirely devoid of fruit. With air revealed a biscuity mineralite that was heavenly. But I suspect this particular bottle suffered its provenance…

Served blind from mag. Darker colour than the 04 ruinart rose it was paired with. Slightly stinky, reduced nose. Biting acidic mousse. Compact. Very slowly opening. Some confusion with the somm about which was which in this flight but I’m 100% convinced this was the dp! Not a great showing for such an august wine in mag format.

Delicious. Tried to stop after the first glass to no avail.

This bottle was open for business though still relatively youthful. Concentrated, rich and powerful red berries with some nice floral nuances.

2 small pours. Awesome. Full on the palate. Delicious with a lot of weight. Steps above the ‘06 LGD Rose. Super good.
