Château Léoville Las Cases 1996 (8 BT)

Château Léoville Las Cases 1996

St. Julien, 2ème Cru Classé

Slightly bin soiled labels, 5 very slightly scuffed labels

50 hl/ha. 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc. The year that Jean-Hubert Delon took responsibility for the wine. Red brick colour. Great refinement and elegance on the nose, with a nice spicy character. Very long flavour. Classic Cabernet Sauvignon style. Not overly rich, but very refined, pure and elegant. This can continue to improve over many years. Last tasted from an Imperial in Hong Kong in 2010. Spicy, aromatic, very Médocain nose. Woodlands and cherries. Cherry jam fruit on the palate. So fresh and juicy, maybe even more so in this format. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

每公頃5000升的產量，用了70%的卡本納蘇維翁，14%梅樂，16%卡本納．弗朗葡萄釀製。 這一年釀酒的負責人剛好換上Jean-Hubert Delon。酒體顏色磚紅，香氣細膩撲鼻，並有一點辛辣。經典的卡本納蘇維翁味道在口中持久2010年時已適合飲用，但未來更必定更勝一籌。 上次於2010年品嚐6公升裝，辛辣、芳香，帶有梅鐸區的氣息，洋溢樹林、櫻桃及果醬味，新鮮多汁，於大瓶裝尤甚。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
