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

Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider
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 reserved nose, restrained, quiet, noble, red fruit, also a bit dusty. Tighter, more austere on the palate, shows some tannin, this is subtly drying, but there is also a still youthful fruit, fluctuates somewhere between two worlds, young and wild, mature and a bit too strongly structured, will they come together? In the hope of a good development,

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

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
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

The Château Léoville Las Cases is a french estate located in Saint Julien Beychevelle in Gironde. It is a second classified growth in Médoc classification of 1855. 

Jean-Hubert Delon is not lacking in passion nor discipline. The vintages who marched during the past quarter century testify for him. In the Saint-Julien appellation, whether the wines are from in important vintage or a less significant one, they are without a doubt amongst the best. A property absolutely exemplary in the Bordeaux region. The largest of the three Léoville is certainly the greatest in quality and, in the opinion of many, it should be among the first growths. Michel Delon, the "Lord" as he was known, is largely responsible for this recognition.

Since 1976, when he succeeded his father, he worked to reconstruct the drainage of land, to modernize and expand the winery, monitor the performance of its vines. He had this deep attachment to land and work values. His son Jean-Hubert took over in 2000, following his disparition. Las Cases is a  typical Saint-Julien of rare nobility of expression and has a breathtaking structure.
