93 Points

Wednesday, April 26, 2017 - Léoville Las Cases dinner with Pierre Graffeuille (Ripple Restaurant in DC): Harmonious nose displaying subtle cassis, blueberry, plum, more red fruit than the 96 and 90, a hint of mint and eucalyptus, coffee and mineral. Very good concentration, chewy and rich, also quite silky, nicely integrated tannins and a long finish. Not quite up to the 96 and 90 for my palate. Nevertheless, this is a classic wine that is drinking nicely.
