Trods sin nærhed til Pauillac er Léoville Las Cases altid tro mod sit terroir. På trods af sin enorme tæthed mangler den aldrig det legende aspekt af en Saint-Julien. I 2018 blev der opnået et alkoholniveau på 14,5 % med en pH-værdi på 3,65. Clos du Marquis har allerede antydet det, selv om det er en separat vin, men den er selvfølgelig ikke langt væk, har næsten det samme terroir og vinificeres af det samme team. Leoville las Cases 2018 er meget mere kraftfuld og maskulin end den var i 2016. 2016 var med sin lange, komplekse silkeagtighed en helt anden vin. 2018 viser masser af lakrids, masser af violer, fyldige brombær, lidt sorte kirsebær nedenunder, meget intense aromaer i næsen, men mindre fine og delikate, noget mere rustikke, med en masse tryk. En kraftig vin i munden også, hvilket jeg ikke havde forventet i år, jeg havde forventet uendelig finesse, men nej. Tanninerne er silkeagtige, vinen er elegant, men den viser stadig meget tryk, meget kraft, meget struktur, klart træ, stærkt på brombær, lakrids, cassis, det hele allerede med en vis ruhed, også med en meget nærværende friskhed. En kraftfuld vin, men alligevel ekstremt smuk. Vi har allerede set denne på samme tid modne og kraftfulde stil i Leoville Barton. Saint Julien er simpelthen meget moden og meget intens i 2018. 100/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2eme Cru

Pure magic and one of the finest expressions of this estate I could imagine, as well as a perfect wine, the 2018 Château Léoville Las Cases comes from a mix of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, and 9% Cabernet Franc that spent 19 months in (I believe) all new French oak. Its dense purple color is followed by a profound wine loaded with notions of crème de cassis, lead pencil shavings, melon, crushed stone, tobacco, and violets. Full-bodied, concentrated, and massive on the palate, yet also incredibly well delineated and precise, it has a wonderful mix of seemingly ripe, sunny fruit from a warm year yet the minerality, purity, and precision of a cooler year. This wine is going to be just about immortal; however, do your best to hide bottles for a solid 10-15 years. 100/100

Suckling om: Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2eme Cru

OMG. This shows amazing depth of fruit and density. Full-bodied and so layered with incredible fruit and power. Blackberries. Blueberries. Violets. Hints of dried flowers. Fantastic fruit and tannins, yet agile and energetic. The château says 2016 plus, plus. 99-100

Parker om: Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2eme Cru

The 2018 Léoville Las Cases is composed of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc and 9% Merlot, harvested September 15 to October 4 with yields of 35.5 hectoliters per hectare, it has 14.49% alcohol and was aged in 90% new barriques. Deep purple-black colored, it needs a fair bit of coaxing to reveal striking scents of blackcurrant pastilles, wild blueberries and redcurrant jelly, giving way to notions of crushed rocks, lavender, Indian spices, unsmoked cigars and black truffles, plus a provocative waft of rose oil. The full-bodied palate is densely laden with black fruit preserves and earthy layers, accented by bright, lively red berry and floral sparks. It has a rock-solid frame of firm, ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing very long and wonderfully minerally. The tannins are so beautifully approachable even at this youthful stage, making it delicious to drink now, but afford it 5-6 years in bottle to allow those finer nuances to emerge and drink it over the next 40+ years. 99/100

Decanter om: Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2eme Cru

This has such a textured, ripe, plump and poised black fruit character that is clear from the aromatics alone. Mouthfilling with huge texture and density, full of licorice root, black chocolate shavings and cocoa pod with crème de cassis edging. This is delicious and has chewy tannins that you can pick up with a shovel. One of the 'wines of the vintage'. Only 2% of press wine (unusually low, as it can go up to 15% in some years). It grips on tight to the finish - extremely impressive. 90% new oak. 80IPT. 3.65pH. A yield of 35.5hl/ha. 99/100

Jane Anson om: Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2eme Cru

Of all the properties in Bordeaux that can benefit from a year where alcohols and ripe fruit combine to give a touch of gloss and richness through the mid-palate, the monumental Léoville Las Cases must be it. Nothing is taken away from the stately, concentrated and powerful character of the tannins, but it has a dense, velvety texture alongside cassis, bilberry, black chocolate and liquorice root, poised but hinting of generosity to come. One of my wines of the vintage, and impossible not to include in this list of top 50 to lay down. 90% new oak. 80IPT. 3.65pH. Yield of 35.5hl/ha. Harvest September 15 to October 4. 99/100

Wine Spectator om: Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2eme Cru

This is backward and dense, with thickly layered plum, blackberry, fig and blueberry reduction flavors wrapped liberally in warm ganache and melted licorice notes. A long echo of smoldering charcoal emerges at the very end. There's a lot to resolve here as the rich and austere sides are still melding, but the extra amplitude doesn't distort anything; it just all goes to 11. 97-100/100
