Chateau Leoville Las Cases 1988

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (92)

Remarkably, the 1988 Leoville-Las Cases has always been one of the most successful wines of the vintage. In this tasting it clearly outshone all its component parts. With a rich, spicy, fruitcake, cedary, cassis-scented nose, this medium-bodied, moderately tannic Las Cases offers attractive sweetness and suppleness on the palate, a well-delineated and focused personality, and a moderately tannic finish. The wine is just beginning to reveal some aromatic development.

Winespectator (95)

Firm, focused and full of brilliantly articulated red currant, raspberry and vanilla aromas and flavors that extend into a very long finish, echoing fruit and cedar.
