Château Léoville-Las-Cases--Vintage 1985
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Lot 74: Very good appearance. Levels base of neck or better. Lot 75:Very good appearance. One slightly raised cork. One badly stained and two slightly stained labels. Levels: base of neck or better and one top-shoulder
Tasting Note: This is one of my favorite vintages of Las Cases for present day consumption. The wine reveals a youthful deep ruby/purple color, followed by a classic Las Cases bouquet of pain grille, lead pencil, minerals, and ripe black currants. Medium to full-bodied, with outstanding concentration, and soft tannin, this is a classic, fleshy 1985 that reveals none of the potential dilution noticeable in many wines from this vintage. At one time I thought this might turn out to be a modern day clone of the 1953, but it possesses a lot more flesh and intensity. Anticipated maturity: Now-2015. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition # B1 (Jan 1998)
