TN: 1981 LaCour Pavillon

This bottle was a wonderful gift that one of my wife’s co-workers gave us because they don’t drink. I didn’t have any expectations…but damn was this awesome.

    This is F-ing ridiculous!! A deep golden yellow in the Zalto Universal. This leads with butterscotch, chamomile tea, and honey comb on the nose. Open close to 90 minutes now and this just keeps getting better. There is no perceptible acidity, but it is just plain lovely. The Semillon seams to be screaming out. There’s a lemony richness in the mid palate that just explodes and unloads enough tropical fruits to justify a fruit salad. Outstanding!!!
