Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider
On the classic, firm, restrained side of the style range, the wine is better on the tobacco, cigar box, cedar, lead pencil and bright-red, spicy nose than on the medium-bodied, cranberry and cherry, earthy, leafy, palate. This is not a wine to hold for more development.

 Brownish garnet. Quite bloody. Tastes better than it smells. Definitely fully developed, lots of leafy and mulched undergrowth but not so musty on the palate. Better balanced than the 1975 in terms of acidity.

 Reticent at first, with classic tones of ripe, polished blackcurrant fruit and a nice earthy, truffly background, There is clarity here, and polish, with some pencil shaving and a sense of mineral elegance. On the palate this wine revealed itself slowly over the course of an hour, getting better each time as the fruit seemed to solidify on the mid-palate, giving it flesh and charm to add to its obvious structure.

Fully mature Las Cases with flavours of leather, dried mushrooms and dried herbs. Supple palate with a good finish.

 Bright ruby. On the nose, delicate, very hostile, aromas of tea, dried roses, raspberries, cool stone, autumn leaves, a poem, you think you are in Chambolle but you know it is Las Cases. Lean attack, fine, very delicate fruit, the tannins have melted, in perfect harmony with a delicate fruit, medium body, very balanced, everything is in its place here, this wine shows a really great balance. The finish is again red-fruity, dance-like, long and full of finesse. Château Great old wine cinema and a great bottle.

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.
