This consignor enjoyed wine in a casual, social setting, but a remarkable experience with a particular bottle at a restaurant sparked a deeper interest. Over the past decade, he has been actively collecting, focusing on quality and provenance. Much of his collection has been carefully sourced from reputable specialty wine stores across Alberta, with a select few bottles acquired during travels abroad or through trusted auction houses. All wines have been properly stored in a temperature-controlled home cellar or wine fridges.
This is the tasting note for 2005 Chateau Leoville Las Cases Grand Vin de Leoville from Robert Parker - with a score of 100. The 2005 Léoville Las Cases is a classic that numbers among the wines of the vintage in the Médoc. Wafting from the glass with notes of dark berries, cassis, incense, burning embers, sweet soil tones, dark chocolate and cigar wrapper, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a vibrant core of fruit, lively acids and sweet, powdery tannins. More elegant and refined than the hulking, uncompromising 2006, the 2005 is nevertheless a powerful, tightly wound wine that will reward further bottle age, even if it's actually quite expressive today.
