Château Léoville-Las-Cases--Vintage 1990
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Tasting note: As one might expect, this is a brilliant wine, but it remains shockingly young, even for the fast evolving 1990s. Its deep ruby/purple colour is accompanied by a classic, nearly restrained set of aromatics that includes notions of sweet black cherries, black currants, lead pencil, and wet stones. In the mouth, it is full-bodied, and while technically low in acidity, there is a freshness, delineation, and classicism in this full-throttle, rich, concentrated, impeccable 1990. While still youthful, it is easy to appreciate despite its substantial tannins. Anticipated maturity: now-2035. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 183, June 2009.
