My dad uncorked this little gem during my last trip home to Quebec and what a treat it was.

The color in the glass is deep and purple.  Just really pretty.  The nose offers stone fruit and black licorice with some spiced notes.  In the mouth, this Bordeaux is rich and luscious with black berries, dark chocolate, a little coffee and some nutmeg notes.  The finish is long, sweet and velvety with the right amount of acidity.

This is a second label wine for Chateau Léoville Las Cases yet a very solid, first-rate wine.

Around $60.
