Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 7, 2009 - Marine Room Leoville Las Cases Vertical Dinner (Marine Room Restaurant, La Jolla, CA): Decanted and ultimately consumed 1-2 hours later. Deep red-garnet robe with garnet rim. Clean, moderately intense nose of black and red cherries, pencil shavings, vanilla and exotic spices. Full-bodied on the palate, with low acidity, medium supple tannins and flavors mirroring the nose. The middle palate is solid and the finish is long and fairly smooth. The solidity of the middle palate and length of finish speak volumes about the quality of the 1989 vintage in general (as this is Leoville's "second" wine). Drink now-12/20.
