Wine Spectator March - 2008
Wine Spectator
This is breathtaking. Black in colour, with incredible aromas of crushed blackberry, mineral, liquorice and lead pencil. Full-bodied, with a mind-blowing texture of seamless tannins that coat every millimetre of the palate. Goes on and on, with liquorice, currant and flowers. Time will tell if it's better than the 2000. Best after 2017.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
The 2005 Léoville Las Cases is a classic that numbers among the wines of the vintage in the Médoc. Wafting from the glass with notes of dark berries, cassis, incense, burning embers, sweet soil tones, dark chocolate and cigar wrapper, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a vibrant core of fruit, lively acids and sweet, powdery tannins. More elegant and refined than the hulking, uncompromising 2006, the 2005 is nevertheless a powerful, tightly wound wine that will reward further bottle age, even if it's actually quite expressive today.

Deep dark ruby garnet, black core, violet reflections, inviting ripe fruit on the nose, fine nougat, fascinating precision. On the palate, transparent fruit, a wine of great finesse, freshness and complexity, red berry nuances, silky-sweet tannins, marvellous length, a perfect wine that manages with just under 13% alcohol. Grandiose ageing potential, undoubtedly of Premier Cru quality.

Mid to deep crimson. A stony, mineral undertow on the nose but with lovely lift and haunting scents too. Firm with a very ripe spread of flavours that almost distract from the weight of fine tannins underneath. Unlike some wines, this wears its tannic charge effortlessly. Racy and lifted. A very successful Las Cases.

Medium ruby, still with violet reflections. Profound nose, mocha, tea, cherries, with dried roses and violets above, floral and fruity, yet very stony at the same time. On the palate, linear, opulent, concentrated, dense, crisp fruit, fine tannins, excellent acidity, on one hand still wild and almost somewhat impetuous, but with air this wine develops beautifully and shows excellent length on the finish.

Château Leoville Las Cases
Château Leoville Las Cases

Château Léoville Las Cases is one of the most iconic estates in the Saint-Julien appellation, renowned for the precision, depth and longevity of its wines. Classified as a Deuxième Grand Cru Classé in 1855, it has distinguished itself for over a century through its exacting standards and consistent quality, placing it at the pinnacle of the Médoc hierarchy.

Originating from the former Léoville estate, the vineyard of Château Léoville Las Cases is now protected by a historic walled enclosure, a rare distinction in Bordeaux, ensuring a strong parcel identity. Located immediately on the banks of the Gironde, facing the great terroirs of Pauillac, the estate benefits from a privileged environment, conducive to slow and uniform ripening of the grapes.

The grape variety, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and complemented by Merlot and Cabernet Franc, gives the wines a deep structure and remarkable ageing potential. Iconic vintages include 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 ageing potential. The estate also produces a renowned second wine, Clos du Marquis, offering a more accessible interpretation of the Las Cases style.
