Description

IN BRIEF
Wine of the vintage? Leoville Las Cases pulled out a total classic against the odds.

PRICING
Best UK duty paid price is £92 per bottle with Fine + Rare, but only a solitary bottle exists 'in the market' at that price.

REVIEWS
95 from Rpbert Parker
"Only 43% of the production made it into the final blend of this remarkable 2002. Produced from a low 17 hectoliters per hectare, it includes 66.7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.5% Merlot, 13.9% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot. It has the highest alcohol ever achieved in a Leoville Las Cases (13.5%) as well as a lofty pH of 3.85. Nevertheless, the impression is one of a structured wine with considerable density, a ruby/purple color, layers of flavor, and a classic overall personality. The wine exhibits pure black currant, licorice-infused fruit, huge body, a viscous mid-palate, and a long, heady finish. I suspect this wine won’t be nearly as charming as the 2003 in its youth, but it hasn’t yet closed down, and I am amazed at just how rich, intense, and full-bodied it tastes even after bottling. This is certainly one of the half dozen or so candidates for wine of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2030+."

16.5 from Jancis
"Mid crimson. Racy, quite subtle nose. Strongly cassis and cedar - almost like textbook claret. Pretty firm. But it does still seem pretty youthful and far from a charmer. (Drink between 2014-2024)"

91+ from Neal
"Tasted blind at Farr's 2002 Bordeaux tasting. A ripe blackberry nose with graphite, blueberry, wild hedgerow and a touch of leather. A sweet entry, a lot of extraction here with firm, solid, chewy tannins but well defined and clean. Real density and weight to this wine. Grippy…lacquers the palate with its fruit, one of the most persistent '02 Clarets but it certainly needs time. Tasted October 2009."

92 point median score from the Cellar Tracker hive mind (78.85% rate it between 90-94 points)

I've drunk two of the 6 bottles and found them a total delight, no hard edges, lots of dark fruit, and plenty left in the tank for further cellaring.
