BYOW Oops!

A good friend and I met at Union Square Cafe last night for dinner. Each person pulled a bottle from the cellar. Unfortunately, both were 1989 Leoville Las Cases. Fortunately, they were wonderfully and virtually indistinguishable from each other, in terms of appearance, condition, and palate. Rich, dark, complex, layered, and alive in a classic, Old-World St. Julien way. Lots of muscular fruit, minerality, tobacco, clay, and gravel. Many, many years ahead in its drinking window. [image]
