This is nicely done. A bit on the “in your face” side, it’s got loads of rich, plummy Merlot fruit, a fair whack of French oak, and loamy earth notes. Rich, darkly fruity, a bit chocolatey in the mouth. Still a fair amount of soft, side-of-the-mouth-clingy tannin left. More youthful than its 12-year age. 15% alcohol. I prefer a slightly more reserved style, but this is impressive in its own way. — 17 days ago

A good but not great LLC, classic black current and hints of leather and cedar, but a little rustic, though drinking it next to a lovely 1990 Troplong-Mondot didn’t do it any favors. — 3 months ago

Elegant mineralogy with a touch of salinity due to the vineyards proximity to the Pacific. Just exceptional — 5 months ago

So well balanced. Good fruit, white pepper, plum, cherry and the stem. Excellent with meat for dinner. Lighter bodied for ca but still substantial. This is a crowd pleaser. — a month ago

Showing brilliantly, ripe plum but elegant as well and seamless. It made the 1989 LLC seem a little clumsy in comparison. — 3 months ago

2021 vintage. Tasted four times in just over a year. Consistent with body (medium), spice factor (check) and finish (lengthy). Enjoyed yet again with the owner, Andrew. 11.20.24. — 8 months ago
