Château Léoville-Las-Cases--Vintage 2000
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting note: Along with the Médoc first growths, Léoville-Barton, Château Montrose, Sociando Mallet, and a handful of other producers, Léoville-Las-Cases continues to make a wine meant for very long-term cellaring. When I did my earlier tastings of the 2000, my projected maturity dates were 2012-2040, but it is looking more like 2020-2050. This full-bodied blend of nearly 77 Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.4 Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc still has a youthful ruby/purple color, notes of graphite, kirsch liqueur, black currants, and lead pencil shavings, with good acidity, the tell-tale purity, layered ripeness and intensity, and a profound finish. However, with its high level of tannin and brooding backwardness, this superb effort needs to be forgotten for up to a decade. 98+ points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #189, June 2010
