    Château Léoville Las-Cases

    About Château Léoville Las-Cases

    Château Léoville-Las Cases was one of the largest Bordeaux vineyards before divided several times over the years. Unquestionably one of the greatest names of the Left Bank, there are numerous Bordeaux insiders who consider Château Léoville Las Cases to be a First Growth in all but name. Often compared to its neighbour just over the border in Pauillac, Château Latour, there are similarities between the two titans. Namely, the monolithic structure and unfathomably fine tannins - the mark of truly great wine.

     

    Château Léoville Las Cases has long had a reputation for wines of complexity and power. Incredibly long-lived, the only complaint levelled at this iconic producer over the past decades is that their wines required substantial patience!

    The 1986 Leoville-Las Cases is still so youthful in appearance after 30 years, with only a thin bricking on the rim giving away its age. The bouquet is magnificent: extraordinarily pure and delineated, bewitching black fruit laced with cedar and graphite, the latter lending an almost Pauillac-like personality. The palate is exactly as I have found the previous dozen or so bottles I have tasted: structured, delineated, intense, aristocratic and imperious. It is less formidable than say, ten years ago, so it has probably just stepped onto its drinking plateau. The acidity is perfectly judged lending freshness and tension, crucial to counterbalance those layers of spicy black fruit that fans out with cedar and graphite (again) towards the finish. You come away with the feeling of having consumed a wine with immense energy, yet with so much more to give over the next three decades, and knowing this property, perhaps even the three decades after that! I would agree with the late Michel Delon: the 1986 Léoville Las-Cases is the summit of the 1980s. Tasted September 2016.

    This 1988 is still youthful with chewy tannins and a menthol send off. It's full of rich, concentrated spice, cloves and cinnamon touches and is holding up extremely well. It's a little more evolved than the 1986 but still shows just how regularly Las Cases rewards the faith that people have in it. 3% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Drinking Window 2019 – 2030
