Chateau LeovilleLas Cases 2011
About this product
Château Léoville-Las-Cases is classified as a 2nd Growth, but can rightfully claim to produce wines equal and superior to some 1st growths. Léoville's label (Grand Vin de Léoville du Marquis de Las Cases) doesn't mention the +Château+ as a result of it's 18th century standing as not only the most important Château in St-Julien, but of all the Médoc. While firmer, and slower to mature than most St-Julien's, recently the wines have filled out and are not only elegant, but extremely powerful and concentrated.

Vintage 2011
94 points
Intense aromas of currants and blackberries with minerals. Full body, with an serious density for the vintage, and racy tannin and acidity. It goes on very long. Reminds me a little of 1996. Very classic style.
