Wine Enthusiast July - 2009

A classic in development, a wine that will last for decades. It is certainly powerful, but already the shape is finalized, with its plums and berries settling down with perfumes, acidity, just enough tannins and a warm, welcoming richness. A great argument for the superiority of 2001 over 2000.

Brilliant wine. Opaque. Sublime nose of pure blackcurrant/cassis. Vanilla. Massive concentration & purity. Better than 2000? Huge grip. Oozes class. More oak than usual. Wine of vintage? 25+ years. Tasted at château.

(3-2011) Dark crimson. Still quite blue. Intense and almost bloody on the nose. The usual obdurate Las Cases style! Not nearly ready. SO dry!!!! Hard work. Is there really enough fruit in here? I’m giving it the benefit of the doubt with my score.

(3-2004) This is very floral and perfumed with lots of violets, roses and berries. Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and a racy finish. Superfresh and long. Focused and clean.

Chocolate mint, flowers, currants, cedar and lead guypencil on the nose bring you to a hmouth full of chewy Cabernet, dusty tannins and a finish with tart cherries and bitter cocoa in the endnote. Decanted 60 minutes before serving. Drink from 2023-2040.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
 Medium to deep garnet colored with a touch of brick, it charges out of the glass sporting energetic notes of kirsch, blackberry preserves and blackcurrant pastilles with underlying scents of star anise, cumin seed, potpourri, oolong tea and tobacco leaf plus a waft of incense. The medium-bodied, exquisitely elegant palate explodes with a myriad of exotic spice, floral and dried berries notes, framed by soft tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and with impeccable poise and sophistication.

(6-2005) Somber red. Good intensity. Beautiful. Net. Fine. Fruity. Fresh and creamy. Finely grilled. It develops in roundness with density while the 2002 develops in length but ample with more precise steps. This 2001 has vivatiousness and a lot of concentration. Very nice length. For the first time it is superior to the 2002, more harmonius.

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.
