Gand Vin de Leoville

[brappy]

Marquis de las Cases
Recolte '89

Nose has some masked fruit w/ typical Bordeaux dirt. I was shocked with the palate. No age on it at all; extremely youthful fruit; even fresh. Medium finish.

I got to this one (out of magnum) about 7 hours after being double decanted. The structure and youth gives this one another 20 yrs.

Nice! Thanks for the writeup! Been looking backwards and picking up older vintages due to the high 2005 release prices. Will look for this one too!

Well, there's a lot out there. So it shouldn't be too tough to find what you want. I'm going out wine shop fishing today. Just something to do on a day I thought we were going out on the boat. The weather just wasn't doing what we wanted this morning.
