This wine was still powerful and showed all the dimensions of a well aged St Julien. Not a long finish but fairly complex and a wonderful, classic Bordeaux to enjoy now.

Dark and glowing with a ruby rim. Rather too light and austere for 1970's dryness and rigidity. Faded quite fast.

Clearly old Bordeaux, with an engaging, singed, sous bois quality you get from mature claret. Wonderfully spiced bouquet, with ripe and dried red fruits and cassis. The flavors are not as forthcoming as the nose, but they were imbued with a compelling earthiness to complement what's left of the fruit.

An austere cask sample but soon opened up. Fifteen well spread notes, all good. A gentlemanly classic, marvellous fruit, impressie yet despite its flesh, still tannic. Typical cedary nose, very good balance and flavour.

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.
