About This Wine
Château Léoville-Las Cases has earned 12 perfect scores. Four of them come from the 2016 vintage alone. Glance at the reviews and it’s easy to see why. Decanter’s Jane Anson called it “the clear wine of the vintage.” James Suckling posited that it’s “probably better” than the historic 1986 vintage. And Jeb Dunnuck praised it as “a perfect example of the old saying ‘an iron fist in a velvet glove.’” The deep violet grand vin opens with alluring floral and spice notes that expand outward with time in the glass. The supremely silky body envelops the palate with integrated layers of blackberries, blueberries, black currants, cassis, licorice, graphite, tobacco, and herbs. Meanwhile, pinprick tannins and refreshing acids add roundness that crescendos into a monumental finish. For anyone wondering what makes Bordeaux the granddaddy of all wine regions, 2016 Château Léoville-Las Cases offers a resounding example. The Final Sip: Four 100-point ratings. Decades of aging potential. Mind-blowing integration and purity. The 2016 Château Léoville-Las Cases screams investment-worthy.
