2015 Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2eme Cru Classe, Saint-Julien 6x75cl

Chateau Leoville Las Cases

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 98+

Drink To: 2027-2055

Starting out as the “second wine” of Leoville-Las-Cases, Clos du Marquis soon became a standalone wine in its own right. Its 45-hectare vineyard is surrounded by some of the most prestigious classified growths in Saint-Julien and therefore benefits from a similar terroir of humic podzol over sandy-clay gravel. When tasting, the Le Clos du Marquis shows itself to be typically Saint-Julien. Excellent structure, complexity and harmony exemplify this.

Neal Martin

The 2015 Leoville Las-Cases has an intense bouquet with blackberry, cedar, tobacco, mint and juniper aromas developing in the glass. This is utterly compelling. The palate is very well balanced with more weight and density than the Poyferre. It's spicier with hints of black pepper and cumin toward the persistent finish. This still requires time in bottle but it has huge potential. Tasted at the 2015 Ten-Year-On tasting at Bordeaux Index.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown

"Composed of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc and 6% Merlot, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Leoville Las Cases has a slightly closed nose, revealing notes of creme de cassis, baked blueberries and black forest cake with touches of licorice, violets and Indian spices plus a waft of dusty soil. The palate is medium to full-bodied, concentrated and built like a brick house, with firm, ripe, velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and spicy."

Tasted blind. Smells like proper claret! Sweet start with a hint of coconut. Then some juicy fruit. Dry finish. Very gentlemen s club. Rather drying tannins on the end. Needs time. (JR)
