1999 Chateau Leoville-Las CasesColour : Red Producer : Chateau Leoville Las Cases Country : France Region : Bordeaux Sub Region : St Julien Variety : Proprietary Blend Vintage : 1999 Capacity : 750 ml Standard Bottle Tasting Note : Warm and exciting wine from a slightly frigid vintage. Black ruby in color. Rich and powerful on the nose, with loads of currant, smoke and tobacco. Full bodied and silky, polished and long, very pretty indeed. Best after 2005. 15000 cases made. Note:

yellow pear

and leather

then developing grandiose blueberry and blackberry flavours

accented by rose

A bit standoffish now

Needs three to five years of bottle age on release

something I consider a common attribute among all of the world's truly great wines

classic Clos de Tart aromas and flavors of dark raspberry

with soft curves that add to its sensuality and allure

anise and a hint of rosemary oil

filling the palate with its dense and elegant tannic texture and ending with a persistent and beautifully crisp finish
