Description

According to the following professional's wine tasting notes,the 2009 Leoville Las Cases is a forward,feminine,hugely concentrated wine,which is accessible for early drinking,yet it still can be cellared for 40+ years.There is some confusion regarding the high alcohol level,with the experts not being in accord.Also the back label of the bottle states 13.5%:-

"The 2009 Leoville Las Cases may be the most open-knit and forward Las Cases I have tasted to date.Analytically,it is high in tannin and the alcohol is 13.8%,nearly a record at this estate.This blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon,15% Merlot,and the rest Cabernet Franc was showing brilliantly at the 2009 tasting I did in Hong Kong and at a later tasting.It boasts an inky/purple color,monumental concentration and lots of sweet,jammy black currant,black cherry,and kirsch fruit intermixed with crushed rock and mineral notes.As always,proprietor Jean-Hubert Delon has built a massive wine with exceptional precision,unbelievable purity and aging potential of 40-50 years.I was surprised by the luciousness of this cuvee on several occasions,and how much more forward it is given the fact that Las Cases can often be forebodingly backward and in need of 10-15 years of cellaring (at age 30,the 1982 is a baby in terms of development!).The super-concentrated 2009 needs another 5-7 years before additional nuances emerge.This is a brilliant full-throttle St.Julien".
(98+ Points).

Robert Parker. (The Wine Advocate. March 2012).


"Tasted at the chateau.A blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon,15% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc with 6.4% vin de presse,delivering 13.4% alcohol and a pH of 3.65.The nose has brilliant delineation:this is the first thing that hits you,as if you can peer into the clos of the vineyard itself.Very expressive,almost feminine and wily,crystalline (this is something I did not expect).The palate is medium-bodied,saturated and supple on the entry,seamless tannins,a sense of controlled opulence here,very pure,rounded towards the finish again,gliding across the mouth and caressing,rather than gripping it.The finish is very pure,almost Napa in style,but retaining sufficient structure and prudency of alcohol to allow that St.Julien terroir to shine through.This is an irresistable Las Cases,perhaps a modern day '85?".
(96-98 Points).

Neal Martin. (Wine Journal. Tasted,March 2010).
