Description

David Peppercorn,in his authoritative work,BORDEAUX,says it all: "...today Leoville-Las-Cases,because of its quality and consistency...is separated from the first growths only through the rigid traditions of Bordeaux's ossified classification system...As such,it represents wonderful value - a wine enabling connoisseurs to enjoy claret of first growth quality at half the price".


As the professional's wine tasting notes state (below),the 2009 Leoville Las Cases is a forward,feminine,hugely concentrated wine,which is accessible for early drinking,yet it can be cellared for 40+ years.There is some confusion regarding the high alcohol level,with experts not being in accord.The back label of the bottle actually states an alcohol level of 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.The blend is 76% Cabernet Sauvignon,15% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc.It 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 as massive wine with exceptional precision,unbelievable purity and ageing potential of 40-50 years.I was surprised by the lusciousness 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).


In a later tasting note in the Hedonist's Gazette in August 2014,Robert Parker awarded this wine with 99 Points.


"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 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,and a sense of controlled opulence here,very pure,rounded towards the finish again,gliding across the mouthd 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 show through.This is an irresistible Las Cases,perhaps a modern day '85?".
(96-98 Points).

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


"Amazing aromas of cep mushrooms,dark fruits and fresh flowersfollow through to a full-bodyand super velvety tannins with a long,long finish.Gorgeous structure to this.Sexy and almost decadent.Just like when I tasted it in Hong Kongry in 2019".
(99 Points).
