1918 Château Léoville Las Cases

Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Saturday, November 7, 2009 - Marine Room Leoville Las Cases Vertical Dinner (Marine Room Restaurant, La Jolla, CA): Decanted, with the serial tasting beginning immediately and commencing over 60 minutes. Murky amber robe. Moderately intense nose of apricots and prunes. Full-bodied on the palate, with medium acidity and apricots on the palate. It was a treat to taste this old Leoville, a vintage harvested seven years before the birth of my father! I suspect that the dominant apricot aroma and flavor is the result of "chemical remodeling" over the 91-year life of this wine.
