This is a powerful wine, here is a lot of complexity in the bottle. A great structure and a robust mouth filling, the tannins a little softer then the last bottle way back but still firm. Great bottle of wine and some decades ahead, but not this one🤣😋 — 2 years ago

Really forward. Tobacco and berry. Great inner mouth aromas. Chewy and dense with ripe and big tannins. — 3 months ago

1997 vintage. A blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot and 18% Cabernet Franc. The most humble of the Domaines Delon stable ( Léoville Las Cases, Clos du Marquis, Nénin) is showing incredibly well at 27 years old. Showing its age more in the nose than in the taste, but actually improving with decanting ( thanks broken cork!). Still good fruit, with refreshing acidity and a good grip of soft tannin. Very good length too. Still worth seeking out from a well-stored bottle. — 9 months ago

2010 Bordeaux zoom tasting with Lisa Perrott-Brown, editor in chief for RP Wine Advocate. The wines have been shut down, some waking up...big wines with volume turned up on everything (tannin, acidity, alcohol), structured, and should cellar for many years.

Second wine of Léoville las Cases, blend of 53% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Cabernet Franc, deep Ruby color with aromas of berries and ripe black fruits with floral and cigar spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry, wild cherry and ripe black plum with notes of tobacco, licorice and floral spice. Fine firm tannins, long finish ending with fruit and toasty mineral notes. — 10 months ago
