A big, bold, rich and expressive style that packs in lots of flavor, yet manages to be elegant and stylish without being heavy. Deep, perfumed currant, floral, spice and berry flavors coat the palate, ending with ripe, integrated tannins. Drink now through 2014. 1,750 cases made.
93 POINTS!!!
Bright, dark red. Subdued but complex nose offers raspberry, red cherry, rose petal and smoky underbrush; lovely lift and perfume. Sweet and vinous, with excellent energy and cut to the red fruit and floral flavors. Very fine-grained, fresh wine that really transcends the vintage. Finishes with firm but noble tannins and terrific subtle persistence. This was even more brisk with extended aeration, suggesting that it will be better for a bit of patience.
91 points Wine Spectator: "Aromas of raspberry and citrus, with just a hint of sweet tobacco. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and a caressing, layered tannin structure. Very well made. Excellent. Best after 2011." (03/07) 90 points Wine Enthusiast: "This is the second wine of Léoville-las-Cases, big and black, stunningly perfumed with eucalyptus and violets. Herbs and ripe black fruit flavors are given shape by the tannins that go straight through the wine. The aftertaste has great acidity."
