Château Léoville Las Cases 2003 (12 BT)

Château Léoville Las Cases 2003  

St. Julien, 2ème Cru Classé 

Levels bn or into the neck 

A very low yield of 21hl/hectare and 54% of the harvest in the 'grand vin'.  Enormous class and aromatic intensity on the nose. Huge on the palate, with flavours of coffee and loganberries. Great balance - pure velvet.  More recently, a deep maraschino cherries nose.  Real strawberry and smoke taste.  The tannins are so ripe.  Cassis finish.  A giant wine set for a long future.
