Château Léoville-Las Cases 1997
$730.00
$912.50
A star of the vintage, this classy, cedary, black currant, and sweet cherry-scented, dense ruby-colored Las Cases exhibits a beautiful dosage of new oak, medium body, expansive, ripe, concentrated flavors, plenty of glycerin, and exceptional purity. It is low in acidity, and already delicious. Anticipated maturity: now-2016. Score - 90. (Robert Parker Jr., erobertparker.com, April 2000)
