| Description: | <p class="MsoNormal">(JD 100) Pure magic and one of the finest expressions of this estate I could imagine, as well as a perfect wine, the 2018 Chateau Leoville Las Cases comes from a mix of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, and 9% Cabernet Franc that spent 19 months in (I believe) all new French oak. Its dense purple color is followed by a profound wine loaded with notions of creme de cassis, lead pencil shavings, melon, crushed stone, tobacco, and violets. Full-bodied, concentrated, and massive on the palate, yet also incredibly well delineated and precise, it has a wonderful mix of seemingly ripe, sunny fruit from a warm year yet the minerality, purity, and precision of a cooler year. This wine is going to be just about immortal; however, do your best to hide bottles for a solid 10-15 years. </p><p class="MsoNormal">(RP 99) (JS 99) (D 99) </p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p> |
