This shows no gravity. The tannins are totally melted in the wine and give it fantastic structure, but the texture is so fresh and vivid. Crushed stone. Cloves. Chinese spices. Great finish. Opening and flying away. Orange peel. Very special. Thought-provoking. Endless. 83.5% cabernet sauvignon, 10.5% cabernet franc and 6% merlot. 99-100

  • 100p

Dark purple colour with violet hue and black core. Powerful and very noble nose, refined aroma reminiscent of blackcurrants and forest berries, hints of ripe cherries, discreet floral hints in the background. Complemented by gingerbread spices and hints of fine toasting. Subtle oak. On the palate well balanced with juicy and mouth-watering character, fine fruit, noble tannins, freshness and elegance. A Léoville-Las-Cases which will make history.
