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.

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.

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 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 an uncompromising level of quality and consistency that places it at the very top of the Médoc hierarchy.

Originating from the former Léoville estate, the Château Léoville Las Cases vineyard is today protected by a historic enclosure — a rare distinction in Bordeaux — which guarantees a strong parcel identity. Situated on the immediate banks of the Gironde, facing the great terroirs of Pauillac, the estate benefits from a privileged environment conducive to slow, even ripening of the grapes.

The Grand Vin, often austere in its youth, requires many years of cellaring and boasts numerous highlights: the 1982 vintage, 1990 and the 1996 vintage among the great classics, 2000, the 2005 wine and the 2010 vintage for the more recent period. Alongside it, the Clos du Marquis, a wine in its own right sourced from neighbouring plots, and Le Petit Lion, a more approachable second wine, complete the estate's range.
