Description
82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc.
Léoville-Las Cases is often referred to as the sixth First Growth, and Jean-Hubert Delon has once again demonstrated that, if the 1855 classification were to be redrawn, he would most probably be in the top league. 2010 is dark in colour, with a lovely concentration on the nose, lots of fresh cassis and blackberries, good focus in the mid-palate, and fine tannins throughout. It is a bit lighter and fresher in style than the 2009, but with amazing purity and a never-ending finish. This is a keeper!
