Medium to deep garnet colored the 2009 Léoville Las Cases rocks up with a drop-dead gorgeous nose of baked blackberries warm plums and crème de cassis with suggestions of violets rose hip tea dark chocolate menthol and sandalwood. Full-bodied rich concentrated and decadent in the mouth it has super ripe fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness finishing very long and exotic.
Wine Spectator: 98 Points
This is gorgeously layered with cassis bush anise roasted fig and plum reduction notes all framed by racy espresso and graphite. Very deep and very long with terrific intensity on the finish thanks to razor cut from the seemingly endless iron spine. With its purity and precision this mineral-driven Cabernet should cruise for two decades. Best from 2020 through 2035. 14165 cases made.
Vinous: 97 Points
The 2009 Léoville Las-Cases simply delivers on the nose with intense blackberry wild hedgerow graphite and crushed stone aromas on the nose. You would put this down as a Pauillac if served blind unsurprising given that it borders that appellation. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin silky smooth in texture with immense depth. It is blessed with quite brilliant delineation and the precision on the finish is magnificent. Chapeau Mon. Delon. Tasted at BI Wines & Spirits Ten Year On tasting.
