CHATEAU LEOVILLE-LAS CASES
Jean-Hubert Delon the fourth generation proprietor of Leoville-Las Cases continues the trend of producing great wines the equivalent of a first growth wine begun by his father in the mid 1970s on this large meticulously kept estate. The emphasis on quality has been long standing, though, with a second wine for declassified juice being introduced as early as the 1902 vintage with even a third wine now in the fold. Close proximity and similar soil to Chateau Latour becomes a more muscular style than typical in St. Julien intensified by the high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon. Leoville-Las Cases is full-bodied, concentrated and tannic wine. Indeed, a quintessential claret which says, "I am the lion which does not bite unless the enemy attacks first."
Château Léoville-Las-Cases--Vintage 1975
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Level: into neck; very stained label, signs of old seepage
"rich, fuller, good fruit, length and extract managing almost to mask its tannin. Most recently, fragrant and drinking well. Last noted at Saintsbury Club dinner, Oct 1997 ****" MB Vintage Wine
