{"product_id":"2018-lif-saint-emilion-bottle-750ml","title":"2018 L'If, Saint-Emilion, Bottle (750ml)","description":"JS99 \"Aromas of black cherries, blueberries, licorice, dried lavender, nutmeg and grated milk chocolate. Pure raspberries, walnut husks and crushed peppercorns as well. It’s full-bodied with firm, racy tannins that go on for minutes. So sleek and polished with a long finish. Really amazing and perhaps the best wine ever from here. Same ownership as the legendary Le Pin from Pomerol. Slightly more cabernet franc (30% instead of 20%) in the blend may have made the difference. The rest is merlot. Clearly the best wine ever from here, since the official first vintage 2011. Try from 2026.\" JS Jan 2021\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJL98 \"The attention seeking nose kicks off with an array of fresh picked flowers, leaves, spice, licorice, espresso, cherries, plums and blackberries. Rich, concentrated, full-bodied and fresh, the opulent, silky, graceful fruits offer layers of hedonistic thrills. The velvety, sensuously textured finish expresses purity, lift and length. With more Cabernet Franc in the blend, the wine requires more time to develop. It is highly likely that once this hits full maturity, in about a decade, this will earn an even higher score. The wine blends 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc.\" JL for WCI Mar 2021\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAG97 \" The 2018 L'If is super-impressive, even if it comes across as a bit restrained today. Ultimately, that energy will serve it well. Dark and sensual, with striking aromatic presence and fabulous balance, the 2018 dazzles from start to finish. Dark cherry, plum, spice, new leather, menthol and mocha all build in the glass. The 2018 is bold, sumptuous and full of energy. I can't wait to see how it ages. What a wine.\" AG Mar 2021","brand":"L'If","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48642571469037,"sku":"BDX:LIF:L'IF-0750-2018-F0L0C0","price":179.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0319\/8592\/6203\/files\/BDXLIFL_IF-0750-2018-F0L0C0.jpg?v=1758241174","url":"https:\/\/grandcruliquidassets.com\/products\/2018-lif-saint-emilion-bottle-750ml","provider":"Grand Cru Liquid Assets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
