Lot 242 Details
CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE LAS CASES 2016

Saint-Julien. 2ième Cru Classé
u. 2 x bn. 2 x scraped labels.

One of the high points of this great vintage, the 2016 Léoville Las Cases is a brilliant wine that unwinds in the glass with aromas of dark berries, pencil shavings, cigar wrapper, loamy soil and violets. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's concentrated and complete, with beautifully refined tannins, vibrant acids and a long, mineral finish. Even in this series of great wines, it stands out for its cool classicism and unerring precision. Still an infant, while the 2016 is sufficiently polished to be far from forbidding, the real fireworks won't begin for another decade. August 2022 Drink to 2075 WA 100
