Community Tasting Note

Saturday, May 20, 2023 - The ‘49 Léoville Las Cases, from a Sanders bottling with a very high shoulder fill, shows some unclean, pongy notes which luckily dissipate with 5-10 minutes in the glass, leaving a surprisingly dense dried red and black cherry nose. The fruit is joined by black, damp earth, old wood, and chestnut in an appealing profile. It’s actually amazing what depth of fruit this still possesses; this is much more of an iron fist in an iron glove than most '49s, which usually offer such energy and naturally sweet appeal. Unlike others from the vintage, this is admired if not adored.
