Nice notes, Kevin. Agree with you on the '03 and '96 PLL. Those are two of my favorites. Also agree with you on the 2005 Climens. We had it at the UGC tasting in 2008 and have liked it since. Regarding the '97 Climens, we have two bottles and one is noticeably darker than the others. Two different importers. I am guessing something happened during transit with one of those two bottles.
Thanks for posting!
Thanks,
