This one looks a lot younger than its 15 years. Starting by the color, a really dark purple, and carrying on
to the nose, where a lot of black berries are still very present, along with a slight more chemical paper
feel and the usual dried plums, raisins and a hint of spices. Very intense and vibrant bouquet.
Good intensity on the palate as well, its good structure showing some distinct layers where sweet black fruits
mix with sweeter notes, a touch of syrup but still brought together by a nice lingering acidity. Good, strong and
lengthy ending.
A notch up from the 200 LBV I tasted a year or so from the same brand and another piece of evidence in favour
of older LBVs.
