Léoville Las Cases 1975: Tasting notes by R. Parker 

The Léoville Las Cases 1975 is undoubtedly one of the great successes of the vintage. Dark ruby-garnet, slightly amber on the edge, it exudes characteristic scents of mineral, pencil and sweet blackcurrant nuanced with flint. Very full-bodied, thick and concentrated, it turns out to be surprisingly muscular and powerful, and should establish itself as one of the wines of the vintage best suited to long aging. Its richness and intensity are simply sensational. He is certainly impressive, but hard and not very evolved. 92 Points (Tasted in 1995)

Exceptional provenance: These bottles come from a cellar of a great Swiss enthusiast and collector. We have acquired the complete collection containing more than 200 bottles of mainly French and Italian wines. The bottles were all preserved following their purchase en primeur or shortly after their marketing on site, in a natural cellar buried under a 16th century convent. A damp cellar, which is why some labels are very worn. The levels are generally excellent or perfect and the most "fragile" bottles demonstrate storage in total darkness for more than 30 years!
