Has turned out to be one of the vintage's superb Medocs. It boasts an opaque black/purple color as well as a classic Leoville Las Cases display of lead pencil, gorgeously pure black raspberries and cherries, smoke, and graphite. A broad yet focused entry on the palate reveals firm tannin, medium to full body, superb concentration and purity, as well as a totally symmetrical mouthfeel. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2025.

Chateau Leoville Las Cases is one of the largest and oldest classified growths in the Medoc. It is the largest of the 3 Leoville properties and now without doubt the leading estate in St-Julien.
