Château Léoville Las Cases 1998 

St. Julien, 2ème Cru Classé

u. 1 just into neck, rest excellent levels, good appearance apart from 3 labels slightly soiled, capsules very slightly worn, 1 cork slightly depressed; Bel aspect mis à part 3 étiquettes légèrement souillées, capsules très légèrement usées, 1 bouchon légèrement enfoncé

76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot. Very deep, youthful colour. On the nose, it appears tannic and quite austere. On the palate, the richness matches the glossy tannins, coming into harmony. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 93

Celebrating the life and tastes of an oenophile, this beautiful collection comes to auction from a single, purpose-built and temperature-controlled private cellar in the South of Europe. All the wines were directly purchased from one of the most prestigious, reputable and highly-respected merchants in Bordeaux. The Classic taste of the late owner is obvious, with an impressive depth of Cru Classé Bordeaux on offer from the 1990s to 2010s, with an extensive representation across First Growths to Fifth Growths, together with an outstanding representation of some of the greatest Crus recently produced in Saint-Emilion and Pomerol. Beyond Bordeaux, we glimpse more of the collector’s tastes with a small selection of Super Tuscans and iconic Californian gems. Great vintages are a gift from Mother Nature and this collection has assembled some of the best wines produced in Bordeaux for the past decade in tremendous quantities with a large variety of formats from half bottles to double magnums. This is a cellar to satisfy every wine lover from all over the world.
