Château Léoville-Las-Cases--Vintage 1978
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Lot 324 levels: eight into neck, one very top and one top shoulder. Lot 325 levels: into neck. Lot 326 levels: nine into neck and two very top shoulder. Lot 327 levels: nine bottom neck or better, two very top and one top shoulder
"The 1978 Las Cases has taken on a garnet hue with some dark ruby tints. The nose is more complex and penetrating than the flavors. The wine offers classic, mineral, lead pencil, smoky, earthy scents, with plenty of ripe fruit, and none of the vegetal herbaceousness that many 1978s have begun to exhibit. The attack offers good ripeness, medium to full body, higher acidity than many more recent vintages, and considerable tannin in the hard finish." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #101 (Oct 1995)
