Château Léoville-Las Cases
Clos du Marquis Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend
One of my fave 00 Bdx wines. Presents perfectly with bright cherries and saddle leather on the nose, followed by graphite and black fruits on the mid palate. This will sail on for years since the tannins and acidity are still very prominent. Unbeatable 2nd wine from Las Cases.

Jul 26th, 2022Fell off quickly - dominant wafts of VA, Brett, and tertiary aromas didn’t improve with a decant.

Oct 10th, 2018First taste from my cellar. Lovely black cherry, smooth tannins, velvety in the mouth. Well worth the wait.

Jun 20th, 2018Red currants, tobacco, leather, and tomato leaf aromas. Add some cherries and fine tannins to the palate and this wine is just hitting its stride. I do recommend decanting. This wine takes a while to open up.
