Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend

Very developed. Compromised cork, had leaked. Floral perfume. Not much fruit left.

1998

Still too young! The nose was tight for a while and the moth fell was telling me to leave it alone for quite some time.

Great Juice. Nailed producer. Missed vintage.

Good complexity of aromas and the palate is beginning to soften but there is still a good amount of power and body. The finish is long and carries the vintage nicely.

Best Burgundy made in Bordeaux!

Thank you Scott Large, Ray Coursen, and Allie Day

Still tight but great 20 mins after opening probably needs 2 hours to open up but length and finish shows potential
Will be great with Christmas turkey and cake
Well as time progressed the flavours and expressions of this wine evolved and still doing so 5 hours after decanting

Well it is Christmas!! Ready to drink - quite old school claret this - nice tannins savoury, dry, very long finish - beautiful!
