‘90 LT was best on the palate. My WOTN.

‘93 LT had an amazing nose, but was less robust on the palate and had a somewhat black olive brine-like finish. A bit of a disappointment, as several at the table said the ‘93 is normally stellar.

‘02 LT being from mag, it was no surprise that it was still primary. Oak was more pronounced, but not in a bad way. This should be stellar in a dozen years.

‘14 Monty is almost explosively ripe and showy. Shared some characteristics with a Rhτne Blanc in terms of how unctuous it was on the palate. It really needed a few more hours of air to tone down and come together. For my taste buds, give me a Coche-Dury Corton-Charlie every day instead, and twice on Sundays.

‘00 Dom Perignon P2 is not shown, but what we started out with. Lip puckering acidity with lemon zest and limestone as the dominant note. This too needed more time in the glass, or preferably many years more in a cool, dark cellar.

Considering the tariff this cost being split 6 ways, you missed a very, very expensive call, LL!!!
