- ($250-$412) Full medium ruby. Aromas of currant, black cherry, licorice, minerals and flowers. Thick, sweet and deep; still young but in a gentler, lower-acid style than either the '86 or '96. Still, this boasts sneaky intensity and wonderful persistence. Tannins are substantial but thoroughly ripe.

- "...youthful yet profoundly complex...the finest Leoville-Las-Cases ever made...massive proportions yet extraordinary purity, elegance, and balance...The nose offers up blazingly well-delineated, pure aromas of creme de cassis, cherry jam, minerals, and toasty new oak...100." WA 6/00.
