Performing better from bottle than it did from cask, this blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, and 11% Cabernet Franc has put on weight over the last year. It exhibits the classic style of both Las Cases and St.-Julien in its deep black currant notes interwoven with sweet cherries, wet stones, and toasty vanillin. Made in a structured, medium to full-bodied style with superb concentration, beautiful purity, and admirable symmetry, this beauty is one of the strongest efforts of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2028. Robert Parker
2004 Chateau Leoville Las Cases
2004年的雄獅拉斯卡塞斯堡 'Grand Vin de Leoville' 展現了聖朱利安葡萄酒永恆的優雅。這款以赤霞珠為主的混釀酒,呈現出經典的風味,綠胡椒、鮮明的紅醋栗和蔓越莓的和諧旋律,以及濕石頭和烤香草的基調。中等至飽滿的酒體揭示了卓越的濃度和純淨度,使這款酒達到了令人欽佩的對稱美。醒酒兩小時以充分展現其複雜性,搭配烤羊肉或威靈頓牛排等佳餚,將帶來非凡的品酒體驗。
The 2004 Chateau Leoville-Las Cases 'Grand Vin de Leoville' is a testament to the timeless elegance of Saint-Julien wines. With a blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine exudes a savory and classic profile, featuring a symphony of green pepper, crunchy red currants, and cranberry notes, all underpinned by a foundation of wet stones and toasty vanillin. The structured, medium to full-bodied palate reveals superb concentration and purity, culminating in a wine of admirable symmetry. Decant for two hours to fully appreciate its complexity, and pair with dishes like roast lamb or beef Wellington for a truly exquisite experience.
