CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE LAS CASES 2005

St.-Julien, 2éme Cru Classé

This is a prodigious effort. A blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance Merlot and Cabernet Franc (only 37% of the crop qualified for Las Cases), this dense ruby/purple wine has a stunningly pure bouquet of dark fruit, wet rocks, graphite, and subtle background toast/vanillin. Full-bodied, masculine, and very deep and concentrated, this titanic effort is at least 8-10 years away from its plateau of maturity. The Delon family have produced another legend. Anticipated maturity: 2023-2050+. 97 WA 100 WS

Estimate $1,000-$1,200

Realised: $1,320
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
