Château Léoville Las Cases St. Julien 1975: This came as a big surprise because I usually associate outstanding bottles of Bordeaux from this vintage with only the Right Bank or Graves. But the 1975 Las Cases is superb. It showed gorgeous aromas of dried berry and tobacco with iodine and shells. It was full body, firm with pleasantly chewy tannins and a chalk, berry and lavender aftertaste. Fresh finish. It's still so beautiful. 
Producer
Château Léoville Las Cases
Globally recognized as the finest of the Médoc Super Seconds, Château Léoville Las Cases oftentimes outperforms the First Growths. This substantial estate spreads across the gravelly-clay soils with 98-hectares of vines unfolding beside the Saint-Julien village. The château has remained under the Delon family’s reign since the late 19th century. Léoville Las Cases is the largest but not the sole property of Jean-Hubert Delon, the family also owns two other châteaux, Potensac in Médoc and Nénin in Pomerol. These powerful Saint-Julien wines are Cabernet Sauvignon dominated blends with 18 months of new-oak barrel aging. The innovative vinification methods, specifically the use of lower-temperature fermentation gives the wines a Léoville Las Cases flair – adding rich and exotic aromas. This quality-attentive winery produces the Grand Vin from only the greatest terroirs, making the wine an imitable Bordeaux.
