    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    A great wine not only due to the ripeness of the small percentage of Merlot but the fabulous quality of the 14% Cabernet Franc and 5% of Petit Verdot, not to mention the large proportion of super ripe Cabernet Sauvignon – natural alcohol is 13.5 °. 2002 is a great expression of the Clos de Lascases that makes up the majority of the grand vin. Vibrant dark purple colour, high toned intense violets, cedar and cassis, sumptuous texture. Fine yet explosive tannins. Beautifully balanced.

    Neal Martin,

    The 2010 Léoville Las Cases has a clean and precise bouquet, beautifully focused with blackberry, melted tar, cigar humidor and crushed stone aromas. It gains intensity with aeration without ever losing its precision. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe tannins, a fine bead of acidity, a sense of abiding symmetry and detail as it fans out on the mineral-driven finish. This is an absolutely awesome Saint-Julien with a long life ahead. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the BI Wines & Spirits 10-Year On tasting.
