Falstaff February - 2019
Falstaff
Dark carmine garnet, delicate ochre rim, water rim. Attractive, sweet dark berry fruit on the nose, a hint of cedarwood and tobacco, nuances of blackberries, ripe plums, delicate spice notes, dark minerality with some graphite. Very elegant and balanced, quite powerful, with pleasant extract sweetness, perfectly integrated tannins, fine chocolate finish, fresh, finesse-rich body, enormous length, mineral finish, has now reached the very top.

Full-bodied, structured, burly, yet refined, there is good intensity and weight, along with an ever-present tannic spine that defines the character of the wine. This is quite classic in style.

This delicious, classic Las Cases is at its peak. It took a long time for the wine to get there, but finally it is open, complex, layered and delicious. Tannins are still quite firm but they have rounded out with time balanced by intense, revealing savory flavors. At its ideal peak now.

Firm and focused, with beautifully articulated currant, raspberry and nutmeg aromas and flavors; very supple for such a lean-textured Bordeaux.

Adrian van Velsen - vvWine
Very restrained nose, reserved, quiet, noble, red-fruited, also somewhat dusty. On the palate tighter, leaner, shows considerable tannin, this is subtly drying, but there is also a still youthful fruit, oscillates somewhere between two worlds, young and wild, matured and somewhat overly structured, whether this will come together? In the hope of a good development,

Attractive, fragrant though still peppery, with cedary nose;a fine, firm, dry wine.

The 1986 Leoville-Las Cases, which Delon continues to believe is his finest vintage in the eighties (even eclipsing the 1982), still exhibits a blackpurple color with no signs of age. The nose offers up aromas of exceptionally ripe cassis fruit intertwined with scents of vanillin, minerals, and spices. The wine is full-bodied, exceptionally well-delineated, and phenomenally concentrated. Still unevolved and youthful, this is one of the most profound Leoville-Las-Cases, but for my palate, it remains a notch behind both the 1982 and 1996.

 Bright ruby. Just a little bit dusty with a dry finish but with real density. This is, unusually, a 1986 that still has some developing to do.

Château Leoville Las Cases

Château Léoville Las Cases is one of the most emblematic estates of the Saint-Julien appellation, recognized for the precision, depth and longevity of its wines. Classified as Second Grand Cru Classé in 1855, it has distinguished itself for over a century through a level of excellence and quality consistency that places it at the top of the Médoc hierarchy.

Originating from the former Léoville estate, the Château Léoville Las Cases vineyard is today protected by a historic enclosure, a rare singularity in Bordeaux, guaranteeing a strong parcel identity. Located immediately bordering the Gironde, facing the great terroirs of Pauillac, the estate benefits from a privileged environment, conducive to slow and homogeneous ripening of the grapes.

The blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot and Cabernet Franc, gives the wines a deep structure and remarkable aging potential. Among the iconic vintages are Château Léoville Las Cases 1945, Château Léoville Las Cases 1982, Château Léoville Las Cases 1990, Château Léoville Las Cases 1986, Château Léoville Las Cases 2000, Château Léoville Las Cases 2005, Château Léoville Las Cases 2014., regularly praised for their balance and evolution potential. The estate also produces a renowned second wine, Clos du Marquis, offering a more accessible interpretation of the Las Cases style.
