| Vintage: | 2016 |
|---|---|
| Description: | The 2016 Léoville Las Cases is the finest vintage I've ever tasted from this estate; in fact, in this reviewer's opinion, this magical, perfect wine couldn't be better. Made from 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc aged 22 months in 90% new oak, it reveals a deep, saturated purple color as well as a thrilling bouquet of crème de cassis, iris flowers, graphite, crushed rocks, and freshly sharpened lead pencils. A perfect example of the old saying "an iron fist in a velvet glove," it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a deep, layered, stacked mid-palate, flawless integration of its acidity and tannins, and a monster finish. The balance and purity here are off the charts. Hide bottles for a decade or so and enjoy over the following half a century. |
