Wine Spectator September - 1996
Wine Spectator
A fabulous wine; one of the first great Las Cases. Full-bodied and rich, with the tannins extremely well integrated into an impressive background of fruit. Give it time.

 My favorite vintage from this château to drink today is the 1985 Léoville Las Cases. Wafting from the glass with an expressive bouquet of red berries, blackcurrants, pencil shavings, paraffin wax and loamy soil, it's deep, full-bodied and textural, with unusual concentration for the vintage, supple tannins, succulent acids and a long, expansive finish. More giving than the brooding 1986, and more complex than the 1982, the 1985 is in its prime today.v

A very aromatic nose. Very rich. Blackcurrant and undergrowth. The palate is of great classicism. Very Bordeaux, very precise, strict but also composed of multiple nuances. Still a lovely potential.

One of the stars of the vintage, this is drinking perfectly today. Delivering its wealth of ripe, juicy, crisp, fresh red fruits in its stern, regal, refined, full-bodied character, 30 minutes in the decanter is all this beauty needs to start singing.

 This mature Las Cases offers a gorgeous nose of aged tobacco, fresh forest mushrooms and dried violets. The palate is complex and very intense with firm, velvety tannins. A beautiful wine in its optimal maturity window with a persistent, long finish.

 Very much into the tertiary notes, layered with mushroom, leather and black tea, and mint. long finish. The fruit is not as fresh as the last bottle from almost 5 years ago. Still love it.

 Deep garnet. Seamless ripe nose: pencil-lead, blackberry and spice. Superb intengration, exquisite balance. Elegant Léoville-Las-Cases. More feminine and expressive. Supple, fleshy finish. The most instantly satisfying Las Cases of the 80's. Beautiful wine.

Appearance impressively deep and rich; a many-layered bouquet -there seemed to be so many things going on - tea, autumnal leaves, black treacle - and still evolving; sweet, with substantial Latour-like character and weight.

Château Leoville Las Cases

Château Léoville Las Cases is a wine estate located in Saint-Julien-Beychevelle in the Gironde department. In the Saint-Julien Médoc AOC, it is classified as a second growth in the 1855 classification.

The estate comprises 97 hectares of vineyards. The vineyard adjoins that of Château Latour, separated by the small Juillac stream. At the heart of the estate lies the Grand Clos, a 50-hectare vineyard entirely enclosed by walls, with its entrance guarded by the famous lion adorning the labels of the estate's bottles. The vineyard of Château Léoville Las Cases features a grape variety composition of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. The wine ages for 18 to 20 months in oak barrels, on average 50 to 100% new.

The second wine is Clos du Marquis. It has been produced since 1902. Anecdote: In a scene from the film 'L'Aile ou la Cuisse' (The Wing or the Thigh), the food critic Charles Duchemin (played by Louis de Funès) manages to identify a Léoville Las Cases 1953 'visually' even though he has lost his sense of taste.
