With all the power and complexity that is typical of wines from this Chateau, the 1997 has the added virtue of being more open and accessible than most vintages of Leoville-Las-Cases.

Tasting Notes : A well-structured wine first showing warm, ripe cassis fruit overlaid by tobacco, cedar and lead pencil notes at the finish.
Producer : Château Léoville-las-Cases
Method of Production : Superb fruit was picked by had from the estate's well positioned vineyards at the northern end of the commune of St-Julien. The wine was vinified traditionally with alcoholic fermentation and malolactic conversion being conducted in stainless-steel, oak and cement vats followed by 2 years ageing in barriques (about 70% new). At blending the very best lots became the first wine with less than half the wine produced being selected for the Grand Vin.

I won a bottle of this. Great stuff, the more you drink, the more it tastes of velvety vadge and hints of txix. I love every second of it. Thanks oddbins.
