Beschreibung:

Chateau Leoville Las Cases 1990 St. Julien, 2eme Cru Classe u: bottom neck or better, five lightly bin-soiled labels, one label loose at edges with one folded corner and tears along opposite edge, mixed importers "As one might expect, this is a brilliant wine, but it remains shockingly young, even for the fast evolving 1990s. Its deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by a classic, nearly restrained set of aromatics that includes notions of sweet black cherries, black currants, lead pencil, and wet stones. In the mouth, it is full-bodied, and while technically low in acidity, there is a freshness, delineation, and classicism in this full-throttle, rich, concentrated, impeccable 1990. While still youthful, it is easy to appreciate despite its substantial tannins. It is not quite as backward as the 1990 Lafite Rothschild or 1990 Latour. Anticipated maturity: now-2035." R. Parker for TWA, 96 pts. 06/09 6 bottles
