Tasting notes for Château Léoville Las Cases 1985
On the eye – A garnet robe with tawny highlights, of a silky density, betraying forty years of evolution in the bottle.
On the nose – A tertiary bouquet where candied blackcurrant, blond tobacco, black truffle and leather intermingle, lifted by a mineral touch of graphite and a hint of fresh mint.
On the palate – An attack of enveloping softness, with velvety and perfectly integrated tannins, a texture of rare elegance, carried by a lively acidity and a long finish, where notes of black fruits, minerals and white tobacco linger.
Serve between 15 and 17°C in a Bordeaux glass to reveal its full complexity.
