Notes from the Winemaker:
The vintages embody celebration: a personal event that arouses emotions and echoes at the heart of life, a birth, a wedding, a success, a shared moment of happiness.
These Celebration vintages are a unique range selection of rare vintages that are aged 15 to 50 years old. Chateau de Laubade only releases its vintages after 15 years of ageing in oak casks from Gascony.
Ratings & Reviews
90-95 Points - Wine Enthusiast:"The bouquet is somewhat disappointing in that it smells engagingly, if subtly, of dried yellow fruit but doesn't expand beyond that. Palate entry improves by offering leathery, mature tastes of nut paste, marzipan, treacle and dark chocolate; midpalate is chunky, sweet, raisiny, pruny and fat. Finishes huge, assertive and diametrically opposed to the fey bouquet." - P.P. (10/1/2009)
