Cellar Tracker January - 2024
Cellar Tracker
Seamlessly excellent. The nose is fruit-forward with cherry, cranberry, and pomegranate. That leads into some secondary notes of sous bois, tobacco, graphite, and a little sweet potpourri. Very lively tannins and acidity still, the palate holds up well to the nose with cranberry, plum, and chocolate leading into a more floral version of the potpourri. Might hold for a while still, but it's wonderful now.

Tight. Firm tannins. Good grip but need 2-3 yrs to soften. Muscular Clos requiring some aging. Very classy.

Succulent and ripe red. Pretty and aromatic, with floral and berry character. Medium-bodied, with juicy, soft tannins. Long finish.

Color a zest evolved. Good intensity. Brilliant. Beautiful. Delicious, caressing, melting and very fruity wine, which develops into a barely creamy touch, very, very pleasant. Licorice, spicy, long, aromatic and noble finish.

The 1999 Clos de Marquis reveals sweet black currant fruit on the attack, but the finish is tannic and compressed.

Deep garnet. Subtle but complex and spicy. Nice freshness on the nose, even a touch leafy but nothing like the 2000 tasted just before. Plenty of red fruit. Very St-Julien. Smells so youthful though it is not very open yet. More savoury and dark, darker fruit than the 2005, more mineral but with a juicy frehness. Well structured, dense, dry and mouthwatering finish, more grain in the tannin than in the 2005 and the 2000. Creamy finish. Still has power and depth.

Château Leoville Las Cases

The Château Léoville Las Cases is a french estate located in Saint Julien Beychevelle in Gironde. It is a second classified growth in Médoc classification of 1855. 

Jean-Hubert Delon is not lacking in passion nor discipline. The vintages who marched during the past quarter century testify for him. In the Saint-Julien appellation, whether the wines are from in important vintage or a less significant one, they are without a doubt amongst the best. A property absolutely exemplary in the Bordeaux region. The largest of the three Léoville is certainly the greatest in quality and, in the opinion of many, it should be among the first growths. Michel Delon, the "Lord" as he was known, is largely responsible for this recognition.

Since 1976, when he succeeded his father, he worked to reconstruct the drainage of land, to modernize and expand the winery, monitor the performance of its vines. He had this deep attachment to land and work values. His son Jean-Hubert took over in 2000, following his disparition. Las Cases is a  typical Saint-Julien of rare nobility of expression and has a breathtaking structure.
