CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE LAS CASES 1989 (2)

Saint-Julien. 2ième Cru Classé

CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE LAS CASES 1995 (2)

Saint-Julien. 2ième Cru Classé
scuffed label

The wine boasts an opaque ruby/purple color, and exceptionally pure, beautifully knit aromas of black fruits, minerals, vanillin, and spice. On the attack, it is staggeringly rich, yet displays more noticeable tannin than its younger sibling. Exceptionally ripe cassis fruit, the judicious use of toasty new oak, and a thrilling mineral character intertwined with the high quality of fruit routinely obtained by Las Cases, make this a compelling effort. The finish is incredibly long in this classic. Only 35% of the harvest was of sufficient quality for the 1995 Leoville-Las-Cases. Drink: 2005-2025 WS 95 WA 95
