Description

This is one of the great successes of the vintage.However,those with modern-day tastes for soft,easygoing,supple wines may not enjoy the 1975 Leoville Las Cases.Why? It is a tannic,backward,old-style wine cut from the mold of such vintages as 1948 and 1928.The color is a dark ruby/garnet,with a hint of amber at the edge.The nose offers up distinctive mineral,lead pencil,sweet,black currant scents with flinty overtones.Full-bodied,thick,and concentrated,as well as atypically muscular and powerful,this should prove to be one of the longest-lived wines of the vintage.There are sensational levels of richness and intensity.I thought this wine would be at its peak by the mid-nineties,but it still needs another 5-8 years of cellaring.It is very impressive,albeit backward and hard. Last tasted,December 1995.
(92+ Points).
