(Copied from informal notes)
WOTN 2. It is almost impossible to believe that there is an even more perfect perfection than the Lalande, but this is it. Really! But this is a perfection that is not allowing us to grasp everything just yet - it's just teasing now with easy to understand aroma's like cassis and other red fruit, cedar and notes of leather but at the same time it's making fun of you, commands you to be humble. Because you're not seeing everything yet. In that incredible concentration lie many more secrets hidden, which it will reveal in proper time (well, I got 2 left, and I was planning the next one for my 50th and the last one for my 60th... That should work). Incredibly concentrated wine, but not in an extracted way - just pure concentration. Incredible structure, eternal length, but really still brooding (although it is absolutely delicious to drink now). It was great to see how you can reach perfection in 2 completely different ways.
