Estimate
...ripe but contained, red and dark-berry aromas, framed in cedar, blackcurrants and violets. The palate has exceptional depth and very focused, pristine red-plum and cherry flavors hold long and seamless into the finish.
...nose of crème de cassis, black cherries, forest floor, and tobacco, with some almost Pauillac-like lead pencil and minerality. Full-bodied, with bright acidity and remarkable purity as well as ripe tannins...
It has something of the same structure but with a juicy fruitiness that contrasts with the tannins and density.
There is good energy to the red cherry fruit, spice and chalky notes...
Solid, with dark plum and anise notes at the core, laced with mouthwatering briar and apple wood accents.
Sweet and fresh at the same time. Sinewy and round. Lip smacking. Just a little green note on the end. Real lift to this and not quite mouth-filling – just a little austere hole on the end but pretty good!
This is a second label of Château Léoville-Las-Cases
