Tail Up Goat. Amazing. — 3 months ago
Love LC19. It’s perfect today flaunting deep, powerful layers of ripe orchard fruit with smoky minerals, toasted hazelnuts and exotic spices. The palate is structured and concentrated with a satiny texture and vibrant energy that give way to a long saline and mineral laced finale. Pinot Meunier from the master, it just can’t be matched and this is the best release since LC13 IMO. I’ve heard LC19 imports to the west coast specifically are often mousy, but luckily I’ve never experienced that here on the east coast. — 6 months ago
I had the 1998 vintage of this dusty old Bordeaux about 5 months ago and it was underwhelming. Maybe an off bottle. But THIS 99 is pretty great. Fresh mixed berries (blueberry) on the nose, and very elegant fruit + tame soft tannins give a really nice mouthfeel with an extraordinarily long finish. Dried herbes de Provence and hay for days. I’m having one glass tonight and will check back in tomorrow after more air. Not an expensive bottle, but age served it well.
Follow up: Really singing on day 2. Got even better with another hour+ in the glass. But I’d say it’s getting slightly past its prime and best to drink now :) Party like it’s 1999. — 20 days ago

Gooseberry in the nose. Pear, tart apple, stone. Rather short, acidic finish. Very nice for an inexpensive Chablis. — 18 days ago
