Reviewed September 2011Dark glowing crimson. Grunty, very concentrated. Arguably the miracle here is to find a wine from Jean-Hubert Delon under £20. And one you could actually think of drinking too. This should certainly appeal to classicists – especially those knowledgeable enough to know it’s related to the most expensive super second of all, Léoville Las Cases.
Professional Reviews
RP
Wine Advocate
A soft, cedary, herbaceous, but pleasant, round, elegant style of wine, with berry and red currant fruit, and a smooth finish... (RP)
ST
Int'l Wine Cellar
Good ruby-red. Smoky aromas of plum and leather. Lush, smooth and gamey in the mouth, with a bit less stuffing to buffer its fairly ripe tannins. (ST)
WS
Wine Spectator
A fruity and fresh red, with mineral, cherry and raspberry character. Medium body. Firm tannins and a crisp finish. (Web-2001)
Notes
This is made by the people at Léoville-Las Cases. It's a superb older Bordeaux for an extremely reasonable price. The latest in a recent string of wildly popular and affordable '97 vintage Bordeaux bargains.
