Description

This lot contains four bottles of Léoville Las Cases 1998 red Bordeaux, a 'super second' growth from the Saint-Julien appellation.

'1998 was a late flowering year but the grapes achieved perfect ripeness by harvest time. It's an excellent vintage that's generally known as a Right Bank year, but is more than holding its own over in St-Julien. At this point we are starting to see what a mature Léoville can do: the edges are softening to a russet colour and the cigar-box edge is apparent, alongside notes of hedgerow, undergrowth, rosemary, black cherry, cassis, and a touch of menthol on the finish. 98/100' Jane Anson, Decanter, tasted 2018.

This lot comes from the temperature-controlled cellar of media businessman and wine enthusiast Lord Evgeny Lebedev, where they have been kept since purchase direct from UK importers.

This Leoville Las Cases 1998 sold at our online auction for £360
