Ch. Leoville Lascases 1997 Saint-Julien

€ 166.24Vanaf 12 stuks €151.13

Vinous 90-91 Full ruby. Superripe, complex aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, oak spice, caramel and saddle leather. Pliant, vinous, and refined; offers impressive density and depth for the vintage but there still a bit less extract here to support the tannins than in the ’98. Impressively long on the back end.

The Wine Advocate – Robert Parker 90 A star of the vintage, this classy, cedary, black currant, and sweet cherry-scented, dense ruby-colored Las Cases exhibits a beautiful dosage of new oak, medium body, expansive, ripe, concentrated flavors, plenty of glycerin, and exceptional purity. It is low in acidity, and already delicious.
