Product Description
AG 95 "The 1961 Léoville Las-Cases, served from a half-bottle, shows moderate bricking on the rim. It has developed a gorgeous, somehow "mellow" bouquet that is refined and envelops the senses. This contains more red fruit than the previous bottle, with hints of cedar and bay leaf alongside a touch more orange blossom and dried flowers. The palate is medium-bodied with plenty of flesh, more than you might expect for this Saint-Julien. It is quite tertiary toward the finish that lingers nicely in the mouth. This is lovely. Tasted at Tsui Village in Hong Kong and also blind in Pauillac. (Drink between 2023-2040)" Neal Martin for Vinous
