Falstaff February - 2019
Falstaff
Dark carmine garnet, delicate ochre rim, water rim. Attractive, sweet dark berry fruit on the nose, a hint of cedarwood and tobacco, nuances of blackberries, ripe plums, delicate spice notes, dark minerality with some graphite. Very elegant and balanced, quite powerful, with pleasant extract sweetness, perfectly integrated tannins, fine chocolate finish, fresh, finesse-rich body, enormous length, mineral finish, has now reached the very top.

Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider
Full-bodied, structured, burly, yet refined, there is good intensity and weight, along with an ever-present tannic spine that defines the character of the wine. This is quite classic in style.

This delicious, classic Las Cases is at its peak. It took a long time for the wine to get there, but finally it is open, complex, layered and delicious. Tannins are still quite firm but they have rounded out with time balanced by intense, revealing savoury flavours. At its ideal peak now.

Firm and focused, with beautifully articulated currant, raspberry and nutmeg aromas and flavours; very supple for such a lean-textured Bordeaux.

Adrian van Velsen - vvWine
Very restrained nose, reserved, quiet, noble, red-fruited, also somewhat dusty. On the palate tighter, leaner, shows considerable tannin, this is subtly drying, but there is also a still youthful fruit, oscillates somewhere between two worlds, young and wild, matured and somewhat overly structured, whether this will come together? In the hope of a good development,

Attractive, fragrant though still peppery, with cedary nose;a fine, firm, dry wine.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
The 1986 Léoville-Las Cases, which Delon continues to believe is his finest vintage in the eighties (even eclipsing the 1982), still exhibits a black-purple colour with no signs of age. The nose offers up aromas of exceptionally ripe cassis fruit intertwined with scents of vanillin, minerals, and spices. The wine is full-bodied, exceptionally well-delineated, and phenomenally concentrated. Still unevolved and youthful, this is one of the most profound Léoville-Las-Cases, but for my palate, it remains a notch behind both the 1982 and 1996.

Bright ruby. Just a little bit dusty with a dry finish but with real density. This is, unusually, a 1986 that still has some developing to do.

Château Leoville Las Cases

Château Léoville Las Cases is a wine estate located in Saint-Julien-Beychevelle in Gironde. In the Saint-Julien Médoc AOC, it is classified as a second growth in the 1855 classification.

The estate comprises 97 hectares of vines. The vineyard adjoins Château Latour, separated by the small Juillac stream. At the heart of the estate lies the Grand Clos, a 50-hectare vineyard entirely enclosed by walls, whose entrance is guarded by the famous lion that adorns the estate's bottle labels. Château Léoville Las Cases' vineyard has a grape variety composition of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. The wine ages for 18 to 20 months in oak barrels that are on average 50 to 100% new.

The second wine is Clos du Marquis. It has been produced since 1902. Anecdote: In a scene from the film L'Aile ou la Cuisse, food critic Charles Duchemin (played by Louis de Funès) manages to identify "visually" a Léoville Las Cases 1953 even when he has lost his sense of taste.
