Community Tasting Note

Thursday, April 27, 2017 - Leoville Las Cases with Pierre Graffeuille (Ripple): Like the 1990, this was ready to go. Pierre thinks it will age longer, though. That may be -- it seems to have more stuffing. The aromatics are stronger and deeper here, although not as precisely defined. Here they're more funky, almost a gamy scent to it. It's smooth and rounded by bottle age on the palate, darker than the 1990 and black-fruited in complexion. Again it has an almost sticky grip -- there is a glossy sheen to this but it feels more like the fattiness in a steak than just the gloss of ripe fruit. That's also on account of the tannins being nicely melted away.
