Château Léoville Las Cases 1978 (9 BT)

Château Léoville Las Cases 1978

St. Julien, 2ème Cru Classé

u. 9ts, heavily damp-stained and bin-soiled labels, 4 slightly torn labels, 1 heavily deteriorated with label partially missing, oxidized capsules, 1 signs of old seepage, packed in unbranded 12 bottle wooden case

The first vintage after the late Michel Delon took over complete control from his father. In 2015, a deep, dense, utterly 'nostalgic' nose of very top, classed growth Cabernet Sauvignon from near the Gironde. Massive black fruit flavour, vigorous and yet soft, and with lovely freshness at the end. Finish of cassis. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
