Château Léoville-Las-Cases--Vintage 1989
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting note: One is not often able to taste Las-Cases in its extreme youth. Monsieur Delon was always unwilling to put his wine in with others or to provide cask samples. The first of half a dozen notes made in 1995: immensely impressive, already perfectly harmonious, a 5-star wine in the making. Jumping five years, showing well at Farr Vintners: sweet, fully aroused. Rich yet tannic. Last tasted Jan 2000 ***(*) 2005-2030 Michael Broadbent, Vintage Wine
