Tasted blind. Very deep crimson. Intense, almost flattering cassis nose. Quite attention-grabbing and sweet for the vintage. Very vibrant. Long. (JR)

The 2021 Leoville Las-Cases is a wine of elegance and restraint. Yes, I am writing that about a young Las-Cases. Perhaps it is the higher level of Cabernet Franc in this year’s blend that adds aromatic presence and gives the wine its refined character. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, mint, spice and rose petal linger on the delicate, understated finish.
Anticipated maturity: 2031-2061
