Description

The 1989 tasted California-like in its ripe, sweet, black cherry fruit, nicely-integrated, toasty new oak, and clean, pure winemaking style. A tighter, more compact finish is the result of elevated tannin, but this is an outstanding, rich, medium-weight Las Cases that tastes less well-endowed than I originally predicted. It is built more along the lines of the classy, elegant 1985 than the blockbuster 1982 and 1986. The wine is still youthful, with no amber at the edge of its healthy deep ruby/purple color. It will improve for another 8-12 years, and then plateau, offering very fine drinking over the subsequent two decades. Last tasted 11/96
Score: 91 Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book (3), November 1998

Find notes of dried fruits, aged tobacco, dried violets and leather. A fully mature Las Cases that is wonderful to drink now. Should keep for several more years.

Cellartracker Notes:

4/27/2017 - KEITH LEVENBERG LIKES THIS WINE: 97 Points
Leoville Las Cases with Pierre Graffeuille (Ripple): Like the 1990, this was ready to go. Pierre thinks it will age longer, though. That may be -- it seems to have more stuffing. The aromatics are stronger and deeper here, although not as precisely defined. Here they're more funky, almost a gamy scent to it. It's smooth and rounded by bottle age on the palate, darker than the 1990 and black-fruited in complexion. Again it has an almost sticky grip -- there is a glossy sheen to this but it feels more like the fattiness in a steak than just the gloss of ripe fruit. That's also on account of the tannins being nicely melted away.

4/26/2017 - DCWINO WROTE: 93 Points
Léoville Las Cases dinner with Pierre Graffeuille (Ripple Restaurant in DC): Harmonious nose displaying subtle cassis, blueberry, plum, more red fruit than the 96 and 90, a hint of mint and eucalyptus, coffee and mineral. Very good concentration, chewy and rich, also quite silky, nicely integrated tannins and a long finish. This is a classic wine that is drinking nicely.
