My 2012 Top Ten Wines (Number 10)

10. 1996 Château Léoville Las Cases - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien (5/5/2012) My wine of the night and groups wine of the night. An amazing effort that is balanced, powerful, graceful, elegant, etc. One of the best wines from Bordeaux I have sampled to date. Intense nose of clay, chocolate, figs, stones and raspberries. Long finish and complex. Drink now- 2040. Wonderful effort!!! (97 pts.) My number ten wine that should age for 30 years. Again if I could only afford to drink these Super Seconds more often.
