Thursday, April 27, 2017 - Leoville Las Cases with Pierre Graffeuille (Ripple): Pierre described this as another era for the chateau. They don't even know the blend. Yields were high at 55hl/ha and all the crop made it into the grand vin. It smells kind of autumnal as many 1970s clarets do, but the fruit is sweeter and more vibrant on the palate than you'd anticipate from the nose. Pretty red-fruited cassis flavors. Pleasant wine but easy to lose in the mix with all the superpower vintages around it.
