Great notes of ripe black cherries, blackcurrants, spring flowers, and graphite all emerge from this beauty, which is going to be one for the ages...
...notes of crushed blackcurrants and black cherries with touches of warm plums, pencil shavings, earth and new leather with a waft of yeast extract. Medium-bodied with a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins, it has bold fruit matched by freshness, finishing long and mineral laced.
...Inky, deep and explosive, with superb depth and impeccable balance, the 2016 is fabulously delicious...uncanny ability to deliver serious flavor intensity without excess heaviness...
...Dense, intense and with the finest tannins. Great acidity and black fruits are supported by a serious, complex structure...
Exotically rich on the nose!...Racy and rich and lots of black fruit. Richness but some structure too..
This is the second label to Chateau Leoville-Las-Cases.
