TN: 1978 Clerc Milon, 1985 La Lagune
Posted: Tue Mar 17, 2009 3:13 am
With the Butcher Block at the Wood Tavern we drank
1978 Clerc Milon. This wine is definitely past its prime, but it still has some fruit and the muted secondary and tertiary characteristics made it worth drinking. stefan 85. Judd 89. Lucie 90. T 89.
With the main courses of roasted chicken and flat iron steak we drank
1985 La Lagune. Now this is more like it! Violets, anise, lavender, light leather. This LL is not powerful but it is perfectly balanced, just like it was 10-15 years ago. I like this more than the '86 La Lagune and most bottles of the '83. s 92+. J 92. L 92 T 92.
