CHÂTEAU LEOVILLE LAS CASES 1998

Wine 1998 2ème Cru Classé  Bordeaux Saint Julien

Best enjoyed between 2008 and 2041
Tasting notes: The 1998 vintage was characterized by early budding and flowering. The particularly hot and dry month of August then favored good grape maturation, which was not disrupted by the few rains that occurred in September during the harvest.

Grape variety/Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon (~54%), Merlot (~36%), Cabernet Franc (~7%), Petit Verdot (~3%) (variations may occur from one vintage to another)

Food and Wine Pairing: Château Léoville Las Cases wines pair perfectly with game, grilled meats whether red or white, and hard cheeses. For desserts, this red wine will pair perfectly with chocolate or coffee specialties.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
 The 1998 Léoville Las Cases is a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet colored with a touch of brick, it delivers pronounced, beautifully pure crème de cassis, blackberry preserves and prunes scents with an undercurrent of cigar box, licorice, pencil lead and hoisin, plus a touch of espresso. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has impressive richness and depth, coating the mouth with velvety tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and spicy. Still very youthful, this wine is in that sweet spot where it has considerable evolution and yet bags of fruit. Drink it now and for the next 20 years+.

This is developed well over the wines, putting on more weight and complexity. Now, you find a ready-to-go Las Cases delivering a complex set of aromatics; black and red currants, smoke, cigar box, wet earth, cedar, and tobacco. The wine is full, firm, stoic and also fresh. Classic in style, the finish is all about its freshness and lifted characteristics that come along with its chewy, bright, red, spicy fruits. An hour or 2 of air will help. The wine blends 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc, 12.9% ABV.

Powerful ruby. Ripe fruity nose, still quite youthful in character, licorice, dark berries, cherries, Christmas cookies, cool ash. On the palate straightforward, fresh, juicy, crisp fruit, noticeable yet fine tannin, still appears very youthful but balanced. Finishes more red-fruited than the nose suggests, spicy, very long. Now until 2038

Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, broader rim lightening. Ripe plums, delicate chocolate note, subtly caramelized. Juicy, sweet fruit, firm tannins, a powerful wine, rather opulent style, delicate vegetal spice on the finish, slightly drying on the finish.

Deep inky garnet. Nose is closed. Minerally & backward. Palate is very well-balanced but tight. Good grip. Just prefer the 99 in sophistication but still very classy. Tasted at the château.

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.
