#AgedWineTuesday Dark ruby in color with a wide brick rim Earthy nose with light oak, black fruits and tobacco. Medium plus in body with medium acidity. Dry on the palate with red and black fruits, wood, earth, vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee, licorice, dark chocolates, black tea and black pepper. Medium plus on the finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries. This 35 year old is still drinking beautifully. This Second Growth Bordeaux is nicely balanced and complex. Peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 10+ years. Good right out of the bottle, and better after 4 hours. I did not decant it, but let it open up in the bottle. Wine Spectator 96 points. A good food wine that I paired with beef brisket. Gorgeous. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. 13.5% alcohol by volume. 93 points. $275.

The age is apparent. Tannins so integrated they are not there. Opeend up after 4 hours. Was full, receded, then reopened.

Deep with great structure and balance. Stoic. Screams for a steak.

Layers of dark fruit, spice box, balanced and full with power to burn.

Celebrating xmas with a special gift of '89 Las Cases. The wine opened up after an hour. Great structure with velvety mocha and green espresso notes. Tannins still firm and an iron-like gravelly minerality.

Near perfect. You're fortunate if you own some.
