Description

Chateau Leoville Las Cases 1989
St. Julien
1bn, 2ts, 4lbsl, 1lwasl, owc
Bottle (12)


"One of the most youthful wines of the vintage, the 1989 Léoville Las Cases unwinds in the decanter and glass with aromas of blackcurrant and pencil shavings, framed by a discrete patina from its aging in oak. Medium to full-bodied, deep and tightly wound, it's impressively pure and vibrant, though it lacks the mid-palate plenitude of the vintage's best wines, displaying a touch of tannic asperity on the finish. I wouldn't be surprised to see it continue to improve with further aging, though my sense is that the Cabernet Sauvignon might have been picked a little prematurely in this vintage." (91 pts. William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Feb. 2022)
