Dark purple core. Fading on rim. Aromas of wood, ceder and raisins. Medium-bodied palate - mature tannins. Quite earthy. Very classic traditional Bordeaux. A little stemmy on the finish. Very good for an 81.

This tasting consisted of each of the varietal components of Las Cases, followed by the final blend for Léoville-Las Cases. The 1981 cuvées of Merlot and Cabernet Franc were light, with the Merlot revealing a mature garnet colour, a lean, compact, faded tea-scented nose, unimpressive richness, and hard tannin in the finish. Even less impressive, the Cabernet Franc's hard, tough tannin and high acidity gave the wine a lean, attenuated feel. The Cabernet Sauvignon possessed a healthy dark ruby colour, a sweet, ripe nose of blackcurrants and spice, medium body, fine elegance, and a clean, spicy finish.

Lovely, round and soft with a good backbone of ripe tannins. Very aromatic, featuring plum, spice and cherry character. Full body and a lovely cedar, fruit finish.

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.
