Lot 46 Details
CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE LAS CASES 2005

Saint-Julien. 2ième Cru Classé
3 x scuffed labels

This is a prodigious effort. A blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance Merlot and Cabernet Franc (only 37% of the crop qualified for Las Cases), this dense ruby/purple wine has a stunningly pure bouquet of dark fruit, wet rocks, graphite, and subtle background toast/vanillin. Full-bodied, masculine, and very deep and concentrated, this titanic effort is at least 8-10 years away from its plateau of maturity. The Delon family have produced another legend. Anticipated maturity: 2023-2050+. June 2015 WS 98 WA 97+ JS 99

3 bts.    per lot $1,000 - $1,200

Realised: $1,200
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
