Description
Robert Parker: If it were not for the prodigious 1996, everyonewould be concentrating on getting their hands on a few bottles ofthe fabulous 1995 Leoville-Las-Cases, which is one of the vintage'sgreat success stories. The wine boasts an opaque ruby/purple color,and exceptionally pure, beautifully knit aromas of black fruits,minerals, vanillin, and spice. On the attack, it is staggeringlyrich, yet displays more noticeable tannin than its younger sibling.Exceptionally ripe cassis fruit, the judicious use of toasty newoak, and a thrilling mineral character intertwined with the highquality of fruit routinely obtained by Las Cases, make this acompelling effort. There is probably nearly as much tannin as inthe 1996, but it is not as perfectly sweet as in the 1996. Thefinish is incredibly long in this classic. Only 35% of the harvestwas of sufficient quality for the 1995 Leoville-Las-Cases.
