1990 Leoville Las Cases
Posted: 14:03 Sat 26 Jul 2014
Deep red and firm in colour, 85% opaque. Muted nose showing much less than the Pichon-Baron, subdued and minerally. Deeply flavoured on the palate, reluctant to show much through the concentrated tannins that are holding the fruit in check. The aftertaste is deeply flavoured and intense across a finish that lasts several minutes and shows what this wine will deliver in the future. One to try again in 5 years. 90/100. Drunk 11-Jul-14. Decanted 2½ hours.
