Chateau Leoville Lascases 1970, St. Julien

"Moden Bordeauxsmaking" hos Øyvind 30.4.12:

Uforløst primærfrukt, ren og solid. Lukket selv om den hadde vært på karaffel i 5 timer. Piemonteaktig tekstur med skikkelig kjakebitt og Serralungafrukt. Tydelige gode og solide tanniner og en matvin deluxe. Viser hvordan rød bordeaux ble laget i "gamle dager". 94 poeng.

‎CB: 1970 Château Léoville Las Cases;
Ruby, towards garnet rim. Superbly elegant nose, integrated, cassis, raw meat, tobacco, fine leather. Fresh acidity, needs a lot of time in the decanter, lively, lovely tannins, long and elegant finish. One of my best 70 Las Cases. 95

Fra bbr.com;
The 1970 Las Cases has taken on a garnet hue with tawny tint. The nose is more complex and intense than the palate. The wine offers classic, tobacco leaf, smoky, earthy scents, with notes of dried fruit, and none of the vegetal herbaceousness that many 1970s have begun to reveal. Although this wine possesses great complexity, in typical style of Las Cases, the tannins are still robust, preserving the wine for another 5-7 years.
