Just a few

From Saturday... The 1995 Chateau Leoville Las-Cases, St. Julien, 2nd Growth is a tremendous effort. This wine is beauty from a bottle. Very soft, round and loads of sweet fruit. I have read many comparisons to the 1996, but I have never tried that bottle so I can't compare. However, to other Las Cases I've tasted, this is certainly up there. While not the 1982 (and I dont' even think the 1983), this is so pretty. Very classic St. Julien style. A very, very young wine with many years ahead of it. I made the comment that this will be good in about 20 years... I should have said, this will be great in 20 years, it's very good now. Oh yeah... Tattinger La Francaise is NOT Brut Champagne, despite what it says on the label...
