Château Léoville-Las-Cases--Vintage 2002
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
In original wooden case
"Only 43 of the production made it into the final blend of this remarkable 2002. Produced from a low 17 hectoliters per hectare, it includes 66.7 Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.5 Merlot, 13.9 Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot. It has the highest alcohol ever achieved in a Léoville Las Cases (13.5 as well as a lofty pH of 3.85. Nevertheless, the impression is one of a structured wine with considerable density, a ruby/purple color, layers of flavor, and a classic overall personality. The wine exhibits pure black currant, licorice-infused fruit, huge body, a viscous mid-palate, and a long, heady finish. This is certainly one of the half dozen or so candidates for wine of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2030+." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #158 (Apr 2005)
