Château Leoville Las Cases 1988 (OWC 6 bot.)

Tasting notes

The color of Château Leoville Las Cases 1988 "is a dark, murky garnet/purple. The wine shows notes of underbrush, fruitcake, cedar, black cherries, and currants. The wine still shows some moderate tannins in the mouth, but the fruit is sweet, the wine is expansive, and the overall impression is a very symmetrical, medium to full-bodied, rather classic Medoc."
