Château Léoville-Las-Cases 1990
St-Julien 2me Cru Classé
(lightly scuffed label)
1 bottle

"Its deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by a classic, nearly restrained set of aromatics that includes notions of sweet black cherries, black currants, lead pencil, and wet stones. In the mouth, it is full-bodied, and while technically low in acidity, there is a freshness, delineation, and classicism in this full-throttle, rich, concentrated, impeccable 1990. While still youthful, it is easy to appreciate despite its substantial tannins. It is not quite as backward as the 1990 Lafite Rothschild or 1990 Latour." (96pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #183, June 2009)
