    Decanted 6hrs. While there is a lot to like here, this is shut down pretty hard, and took some real work to coax out some enjoyment last night. Not hard to feel this comes from a solar vintage, it simply has that density. While the acidity is perceived as on the lower end, I bet its simply buried beneath the wines semi imposing structure. I’m betting this is going to be really good, simply needs at least 5 years at a minimum. Oh, it was very fresh with some real depth on the finish.

PSA - I just purchased 2 more of these from Grand Vin in Olympia. They are on sale for $65 - 3 left. I doubt you will see a LaFarge PC under a $100 going forward.

Helpful note. This, along with the VS, are always the best bargains in the lineup. I am very bullish on the future of this wine and all the rest of the Lafarge 18s.
