Description

Single bottle of the now difficult to find 1997 Las Cases.

A star of the vintage, this classy, cedary, black currant, and sweet cherry-scented, dense ruby-colored Las Cases exhibits a beautiful dosage of new oak, medium body, expansive, ripe, concentrated flavors, plenty of glycerin, and exceptional purity. It is low in acidity, and already delicious.

It is one of the more concentrated and complete, as well as best defined 1997s I tasted. It exhibits an opaque purple colour, and the classic Las Cases aromatic profile (sweet black fruits, cherries, kirsch, vanillin, lead pencil, and minerals). Medium to full-bodied, with silky tannin, low acidity, and layers of concentration, the wine reveals considerable intensity in both the mid-palate and finish. In contrast to the nearly perfect, prodigiously rich, massive yet phenomenally well-balanced 1996, the 1997 has less weight and flavour dimension. Nevertheless, it is a compelling St-Julien that should drink well between 2000-2020. This should turn out to be one of the most concentrated and longest-lived wines of the vintage.

Score: 91/93 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (116), April 1998

Take the opportunity to drink a 2nd growth Bordeaux at its peak.

No reserve. Cheapest UK price available on Winesearcher is £140.

Bottle, label, capsule & seals all in excellent condition.
