Château Léoville-Las-Cases--Vintage 1988
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
In original wooden case. Slightly bin-soiled labels. Levels base of neck or better
Tasting Note: Remarkably, the 1988 Léoville-Las Cases has always been one of the most successful wines of the vintage. In this tasting it clearly outshone all its component parts. With a rich, spicy, fruitcake, cedary, cassis-scented nose, this medium-bodied, moderately tannic Las Cases offers attractive sweetness and suppleness on the palate, a well-delineated and focused personality, and a moderately tannic finish. The wine is just beginning to reveal some aromatic development. It will benefit from another 2-5 years of cellaring and will keep for 20+ years. 92 Points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 101 Oct 1995.
