1985 Leoville Las Cases. This wine was stored and re-corked at the winery since bottling. I decanted it for about 30 minutes. The nose had pleasant fresh strong floral notes. Almost unexpected for a 30 year old wine. On the palate the tannins were silky smooth and as well integrated as I have ever experienced. The fruit was excellent and might have been confused for a younger wine. Body was on the lighter side and the finish medium-long. Drinking window is now. A great wine I would rate 96 points.  Jerry G. 9/15.
