Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend

Muted fruit. Too old, might not be stored properly

The 85 had this guy beat from nose to finish. Just lacked the elegance of the 85, yet it all there maybe just needs time

Tannins well integrated. Well balanced with slightly more fruit than earth. 02 drinking well and seems to be close to its peak

Grosella, tabaco, especias, regaliz negro, cedro, boca con tanino, potente, buen equilibrio

This still needs a few more years but drinking well showing a burly, muscular style with black fruits, cedar, leather, graphite & mineral.

This is just starting to enter its drinking window.

À l aveugle
Robe noire
Nez de graphite et de cassis épicé et boisé noble type cèdre
Bouche masculine dense mais avec une belle maturité
Encore extrêmement jeune

This has black & red fruits, cassis, leather cedar, bell pepper & tobacco, that is slightly austere with tannic edges.

This needed a 1 hr decant to open. Still drinking youthful with its tannin structure showing black fruits, cassis, cedar, pencil shavings, leather & tobacco.

This has always been a big structured and tannic wine but this seems like it is starting to become approachable after 15 yrs. Black currants, cedar, earth, tobacco and truffle.
