CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE LAS CASES 1988

Saint-Julien. 2ième Cru Classé
u. 1 x vts. 1 x hs. 2 x wrinkled labels.

Pale to medium garnet-brick in color, it wafts slowly, gracefully out of the glass with perfumed notions of dried cherries, rose oil, sandalwood and cigar box over a core of preserved plums, figs and fruitcake with a touch of dusty soil. The medium-bodied palate has a soft, satiny texture and tons of freshness supporting the fragrant earth and floral notes, leading to a long mineral and exotic spices-laced finish. This is so good to drink right now, but no rush. It has the structure and stuffing to exist at this plateau for at least good 10-15 years further, before it slowly begins to fade. March 2021 WA 94

2 bts.    per lot $500 - $700
