Lot #71. Léoville-Las Cases 1970

Description: Consists of 12 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 95 JGWA.
"Quite a deep colour. Lovely expressive, firm taut nose. Savoury yet complex and inviting. Still tight-wound with dark fruits evident and a savoury, earthy edge. The palate is concentrated and dense; it’s still quite youthful with really impressive, firm structure. The acidity and tannic structure leaves it a bit austere on the finish, but this is a lovely, serious clart. Needs quite a bit more time. Excellent." Jamie Goode, WineAnorak.com, Mar 2005
Provenance: La Cave Oubliée
Notes: 8 top shoulder, 4 high shoulder, 9 nicked, lightly corroded, lightly scuffed capsule, 9 heavily mold stained, 3 mold stained, 8 damp stained, 1 nicked, 1 lightly scuffed labels.
