Tasting notes
Château Léoville Las Cases is this classic Bordeaux wine from Saint-Julien. It's crafted predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, showcasing that traditional Bordeaux elegance. The 1983 vintage, you know, is at a point where the years have just perfected it.
In the world of 'Drops of God', this wine appears in volume 22, where Honma opens it for a comparison with New World wines. It's regarded as a treasure by Department Head Kawaramō, likened to an eagle soaring gracefully in the sky. That scene highlights the wine's elegance and power.
Visually, it shows a deep garnet with a brick-colored rim, hinting at its age. On the nose, you're taken on a journey with rich aromas of dried fruits and cassis, underlined by nuances of aged tea leaves and sous bois. The depth of its aroma is truly captivating.
When you taste it, the wine envelops your palate with smooth fruitiness and silky tannins, while the acidity is robust yet gentle. The finish lingers long with a complex and rich impression. It's one of those bottles that truly move you when you open it.
