Description

This wine has put on weight and,as impressive as it was from cask it is even more brilliant from bottle.Only 35% of the crop made it into the 2000 Leoville Las Cases,a blend of 76.8% Cabernet Sauvignon,14.4% Merlot,and 8.8% Cabernet Franc.The wine is truly profound,with an opaque purple color and a tight but promising nose of vanilla,sweet cherry liqueur,black currants,and licorice,in a dense,full-bodied,almost painfully rich,intense style with no hard edges.This seamless classic builds in the mouth,with a finish which lasts over 60 seconds.Still primary,yet extraordinarily pure,this compelling wine,which continues to build flavour intensity and exhibit additional layers of texture,is a tour de force in winemaking and certainly one of the great Leoville Las Cases.In another sense,it symbolizes/pays homage to proprietor Michel Delon,who passed away in 2000.Michel has been succeeded by his son,Jean-Hubert,another perfectionist. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2040".

Robert Parker tasted this wine again more recently and awarded it 98+ Points. (The Wine Advocate. #189. June 2010).


"Collectibles absolutely fantastic.This is one of the most exciting young reds I have tasted in a long,long time.It shows intense aromas of berries,currants and minerals,with hints of mint.Full-bodied and packed with fruit and tannins,its long finish is refined and silky.A benchmark for the vintage.Las Cases has always wanted to make First-Growth quality in a top-notch vintage,and it certainly did in 2000.Best after 2012.15,000 cases made".
