1990 Château Léoville Las Cases

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Thursday, January 4, 2024 - Drinking great right now.

Immediately on open strong barnyard nose that dissipated after 30 minutes that lead into beautiful dark red fruit, black cherry, plum, cassis, red currant that stuck around for the next 2 hours. Finally showing its age after the 3 hour mark highlighting old leather, cedar, and forest floor notes.

On the palate this was still a beast. Full bodied with still vibrant acidity and a finish that lasted a minute or longer. Tannins were still nice and firm. Just a very fun wine to experience at this point.
