| 1990 Château Léoville Las Cases - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien (7/16/2006)WIML95+,WA96,WS93 Tasted July 15, 2006 at an offline. Opened and served immediately in a Lenox Grand Bordeaux glass. Purple color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose of cedar, pepper and graphite. Flavors of black cherries and black berries dominate in this still very young wine. Medium acidity, firm yet integrated tannins. Good overall balance. Full bodied. Too young. Needs more time. No value recommendation. (95 pts.) | | | Joe-----Wine is like potato chips around me...if it's open, it's gone. |

| Oops! I made an error in my tasting note. Board-O brought this wine. He decanted it at home and brought it to the restaurant in the decanter. I can't tell you precisely how long it had be decanted. Board-O will need to clarify when he returns from vacation in a couple of weeks. | | | Joe-----Wine is like potato chips around me...if it's open, it's gone. | |

When the 2000s came out, TWC has this for about $129 - about the same price as the 2000. Now they are asking $199 for it  | | http://scmwine.blogspot.com - My wine blog. http://scmwine.wikispaces.com - your guide to the Santa Cruz Mountains and Santa Clara Valley
