Wine Advocate
par Robert Parker le 30/04/1999
The second wine of Leoville-Las-Cases is one of the finer St.-Juliens, as well as one of the best second wines being produced in Bordeaux. Displaying much character, the 1998 is an elegant, finesse-styled offering with medium body, and fresh, pure black cherry fruit flavors combined with earth and spicy wood. Exhibiting a saturated color as well as sweet tannin, this will be a 1998 to consume during its first 10-12 years of life.
