Lot 34 Details
CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE LAS CASES 1998

Saint-Julien. 2ième Cru Classé
u. 1 x bn. 3 x soiled labels. 2 x marked label.

Deep garnet colored with a touch of brick, it delivers pronounced, beautifully pure crème de cassis, blackberry preserves and prunes scents with an undercurrent of cigar box, licorice, pencil lead and hoisin, plus a touch of espresso. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has impressive richness and depth, coating the mouth with velvety tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and spicy. Still very youthful, this wine is in that sweet spot where it has considerable evolution and yet bags of fruit. Drink it now and for the next 20 years+. March 2021 WA 94

3 bts.    per lot $600 - $800

Realised: $1,092
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
