Country: France / Barrel Sample
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Bordeaux
Winery: Château Léoville Las Cases / Saint-Julien
95–97. Barrel sample. This is a very solid wine with tannins that are very firm and dense. There is power without excessive alcohol, lending a classic feel, and a pure line from fruit, acidity and tannin. The result is as much about fruit as structure.
