CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE LAS CASES 2000

St. Julien. 2ème Cru Classé

Absolutely fantastic. This is one of the most exciting young reds I have tasted in a long, long time. It shows intense aromas of berries, currants and minerals, with hints of mint. Full-bodied and packed with fruit and tannins, its long finish is refined and silky. A benchmark for the vintage. Las Cases has always wanted to make first-growth quality in a top-notch vintage, and it certainly did in 2000. 98 WA 100 WS

Estimate $900-$1,100

Realised: $1,140
