1999 Château Léoville Las Cases, St Julien, Bordeaux Willamette Valley flawless wineSwathes of Cabernet fruit here. This wine has wonderful concentration, impressive layers of new oak, opulent fruit and a marvellously long finish. This is a wine that can be enjoyed in its youth, middle age and in 10 years time. Outstanding!
