09 Las Cases

2009 Château Léoville Las Cases;
(Barrel sample) Deep ruby, purple rim. Vanilla, chocolate, leather, blackcurrants, complex, secretive. Fresh acidity, high of ripe tannins, fantastic structure and texture, never ending and truly elegant 09, like the Latour, even if different expressions and true to their respective communes, it is very interesting that these two neighbours are both the two most elegant 09's I've tasted. 97-99
