Château Léoville Las Cases 1989

St. Julien, 2ème Cru Classé

u. 2vts, wine-stained labels

51 hl/ha. 59.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25.5% Merlot, 11.5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot. 25% new oak. Very tobacco, powerful, rich bouquet. Still tannic on the palate, but very rich and spicy. Assertive style, still filling out in 2010. In 2011, raspberries, warm spices and damp earth on the nose. Lovely cedary taste, full of soft glycerol. Nice, decisive finish. A very rewarding bottle of wine. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
