LÉOVILLE LAS CASES
Jean-Hubert Delon, the fourth generation proprietor of Léoville-Las Cases, continues the trend of producing great wines the equivalent of a first growth wine begun by his father in the mid 1970s on this large meticulously kept estate. The emphasis on quality has been long standing, though, with a second wine for declassified juice being introduced as early as the 1902 vintage with even a third wine now in the fold. Close proximity and similar soil to Chateau Latour becomes a more muscular style than typical in St. Julien intensified by the high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon. Léoville-Las Cases is full-bodied, concentrated and tannic wine. Quintessential claret.
Château Léoville-Las-Cases--Vintage 1981
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Levels: bottom neck
"A different ball game. Though tannic at least with a fully supporting cast. Most recently, ruby coloured, crisp, spicy fruit; some intensity and, for an '83 St-Julien, many layered. Last tasted in New York, Dec 1998 ***(*)" MB, Vintage Wine
