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

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

Château Léoville Las Cases is a wine estate located in Saint-Julien-Beychevelle in the Gironde department. In the Saint-Julien Médoc AOC, it is classified as a second growth in the 1855 classification.

The estate comprises 97 hectares of vineyards. The vineyard adjoins that of Château Latour, separated by the small Juillac stream. At the heart of the estate lies the Grand Clos, a 50-hectare vineyard entirely enclosed by walls, with its entrance guarded by the famous lion adorning the labels of the estate's bottles. The vineyard of Château Léoville Las Cases features a grape variety composition of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. The wine ages for 18 to 20 months in oak barrels, on average 50 to 100% new.

The second wine is Clos du Marquis. It has been produced since 1902. Anecdote: In a scene from the film 'L'Aile ou la Cuisse' (The Wing or the Thigh), the food critic Charles Duchemin (played by Louis de Funès) manages to identify a Léoville Las Cases 1953 'visually' even though he has lost his sense of taste.
