"Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2005 is an extraordinary effort."This wine, with its dense ruby/purple color, boasts an astonishing pure black fruit aroma, wet rocks, graphite, and subtle violets; the body is robust, very deep, and concentrated, with at least 8 to 10 years until its maturity given such a monumental effort. This is another legend created by the Delon family.Expected maturity: 2023-2050+.
