Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2eme Cru 2010

82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc. 75% lagret på nye barriques. 3,4 g/l syre, 13,5 % alkohol. Endnu mere saftig sort frugt end Clos du Marquis. Syngende, næsten dramatisk. Solbær, understøttet af lidt brombær, mørk mælkechokolade. Alt sammen fuld af spænding, næsten dramatisk. Endnu højere i niveau end Cos D'Estournel i St Estèphe, og det var næsten umuligt! Mørk jord, blomme og et strejf af gul frugt. Ren race i næsen. Angrebet er enormt. Rige solbær presser sig op fra bunden. Solbær og ribs dominerer alt. Brombær, blåbær og sorte kirsebær kan knap nok holde stand. Cubansk tobak, fint cedertræ, vaniljestang, sorte oliven og enebær. Alt sammen fuld af finesse, men frem for alt den skarpe syre. Tanninen er enorm, men fuldstændig poleret. De 13,5 % alkohol er ikke mærkbare. Dette er ren harmoni med kraft og utroligt kraftige, men samtidig utroligt fine tanniner. Dette er helt sikkert en af de bedste Las Cases, jeg har smagt, og der har været mange gode. For mig har Las Cases sammen med Cos og La Mission nu virkelig fortjent status som en top cru. 100/100

Decanter om: Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2eme Cru

Layered, textured, deep, cigar box, cassis and earth, managing to simultaneously stretch out, and burrow down. The edges open slowly but surely and seductively. Still inky in colour, this has all the powerful texture and tannic architecture that you expect from Leoville, and unlike the 2009 at its ten year point it is still keeping plenty of secrets close to its chest. But you are going to want to be around when it fully opens. 100/100

Wine Spectator om: Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2eme Cru

Stunning and pure from the get-go, with intense cassis and blackberry fruit. Ultimately takes a slightly austere approach, with a wrought-iron structure driving along while pastis, black tea, licorice snap and asphalt notes course underneath. Long and loaded with grip, this remains remarkably fine-grained. A very chiseled Cabernet that is wonderfully precise and incredibly long. 99/100 -- Suckling: The aromas to this wine have a beautiful purity of raspberries, blueberries, currants, and flowers that follow to a a full body, with super integrated tannins that are like the finest silk in texture. It shows elegant and pretty fruit character and a reserve and finesse of such great years as 1989 and 1995. The bright strong acidity gives a crunchy and creamy texture. This has a tiny bit more Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend than 2009. Give it at least six to eight years of bottle age. 99/100

Neal Martin om: Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2eme Cru

Tasted at the chateau. The aromatics on the Leoville Las-Cases 2010 stop you in your tracks: blackberry married with dark plum, Mirabelle, crushed stone and a scent of Christmas cake in the background. It is incredibly well defined and develops subtle floral notes with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied – an immediately elegant, classic Las Cases. It is certainly not the powerhouse that is the 2009, but focused, linear...perhaps athletic and honed. It has outstanding minerality and finesse on the finish to die for. This is an exceptional wine from Jean-Hubert Delon. Tasted November 2012. 98/100

Parker om: Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2eme Cru

Blended of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc, the deep garnet colored 2010 Léoville Las Cases delivers tons of evolving black fruits on the nose with notes of crème de cassis, prunes and incense plus wafts of cloves, cedar, cigar box and powdered cinnamon. Full-bodied, rich, bold and decadently fruited, it has a solid frame of grainy tannins, and the oak is faintly notable on the palate. It finishes impressively with long-lingering mineral notes. This one probably needs 3-5 more years to really hit its stride! 97+/100
