Château Léoville-Las-Cases--Vintage 1986
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Very good appearance. Levels into neck
In original wooden case
Tasting Note: The 1986 Léoville-Las Cases, which Delon continues to believe is his finest vintage in the eighties (even eclipsing the 1982), still exhibits a black/purple colour with no signs of age. The nose offers up aromas of exceptionally ripe cassis fruit intertwined with scents of vanillin, minerals, and spices. The wine is full-bodied, exceptionally well-delineated, and phenomenally concentrated. Still unevolved and youthful, this is one of the most profound Léoville-Las-Cases, but for my palate, it remains a notch behind both the 1982 and 1996. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2030. Last tasted 3/97. Robert Parker. Bordeaux Book 3Rd Edition (1998)
