balanced and exquisitely persistent finish where a hint of bitter cherry pit surfaces
Leoville Las Cases Cabernet Sauvignon 1986(WA93) X 1:WA98 “The 1986 Léoville Las-Cases "Cabernet Sauvignon Blend" convincingly states the case for this variety being the "king" of the Left Bank and the core of this Saint Julien Grand Vin
Interestingly this is even spicier with its own very broad array of spice elements that seemingly change with each whiff of the markedly ripe nose
There is again excellent volume to the sleek but powerful and concentrated middle weight plus flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality on the moderately austere finish that delivers flat out superb persistence
floral and discreet spice elements
Domaine Leroy Gevrey Chambertin Aux Combottes 2014 Volume:750ML balanced and exquisitely persistent finishA wonderfully fresh, airy and expressive nose is composed by notes of red cherry, anise, plum, underbrush and newly turned earth. The delicious, round, generous and naturally sweet medium bodied flavors culminate in a firm, dazzlingly complex and superbly long finish. This satin textured effort is, at its essence, a wine of finesse yet there is enough sleek muscularity and punch present to confirm that it's a Gevrey.
