Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2. Cru Classé Saint-Julien 2012

Mad og Monopolet

En helt fantastisk vin fra Bordeaux, som har det hele og elsker du den klassiske stil, så er dette et perfekt eksempel på hvor godt det kan gøres. I næsen har den dybe intense noter af tørrede figner, blome, brombær, kirsebær, cedertræ, eg og skovbund. I munden er den rig på syre og har blide tanniner og er helt elegant i udtrykket - det hele kulminerer i en fantastisk lang fyldig eftersmag med masser af frugtige noter - bravo!

This combines considerable power and concentration with rich, impressive fruits. It has both style and elegance, with density to give it great aging potential. The tannins are firm while also having a velvet texture. The wine, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, is for serious aging.

Robert Parker

Wafting from the glass with aromas of rich berries, plums, loamy soil, baking spices and pencil shavings, the 2012 Léoville Las Cases is medium to full-bodied, lively and layered, with impressive concentration for the vintage, supple tannins and a charming, enveloping profile. Seamless and beautifully integrated, at age 10, this quintessential classic is already surprisingly approachable, though of course it still has several decades of graceful evolution ahead of it.

The nose is complex, elegant and harmonious. It reveals notes of plum, blackberry and blackcurrant combined with elegant and harmonious oaky notes and a touch of tobacco. The palate is well done, beautifully large, complex, fleshy, aromatic (beautiful palette), subtle, elegant, powerful, typical, gourmand, round and offers a beautiful velvety and slightly creamy texture. Beautiful expression of fruit. In the mouth it expresses notes of ripe fruit, plum, cherry and blackberry associated with a touch of fig and beautiful wooded/toasted notes that brings roundness in the mouth. The tannins are well done, firm and elegant. Good length and aftertaste
