Description

"The 1978 Leoville las Cases has taken on a garnet hue with some dark ruby tints.The nose is more complex and penetrating than the flavors.The wine offers classic,mineral,lead pencil,smoky,earthy scents,with plenty of ripe fruits with none of the vegetal herbaceousness that may 1978s have begun to exhibit.The attack offers good ripeness,medium to full-body,higher acidity than many more recent vintages,and considerable tannin in the hard finish.Although this wine offers outstanding complexity,the high tannin level may never melt away".
(90 Points).

Robert Parker. (Bordeaux. A Comprehensive Guide. Third Edition).


A more recent tasting note on CellarTracker:-

"Sublime and rich,chocolate,tobacco,mature dark fruit with weight.I've had this wine three times now.Two were big hits,one was less exciting but still quite worthy.More mature than the others in tonight's group,but a serious bargain at US$140 a bottle,compared to Californian performers of the same age.Drink up now,but still has legs.Looking forward to my next bottle".
(92 Points).

CellarTracker. (8/7/2014).


An interesting comparison tasting note:-

"Opened alongside the 1993 Lafite,1970 Mouton,and 1979 Petrus.This was the best showing of the night.Garnet,with bricking rim.Slight hint of blackcurrant and oak on the nose.Did not expect the younger nose.Cassis,truffle,leather and cigar box with smooth and velvety tannins.Very good balance,with medium long finish. Drinking beautifully now".
