Description

One vintage missing from my extensive vertical earlier this year was the 2001 Léoville Las Cases, and when curiosity got the better of me, I opened a bottle from my cellar. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of cassis, cigar wrapper, pencil shavings and classy new oak, it’s medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a layered core of vibrant fruit, ripe structuring tannins and a long, penetrating finish. Youthful and aloof, it’s a classic Las Cases that is just at the beginning of a long drinking window. It would be fascinating to compare the 2001 directly with the much-lauded 2000, as the two are very close in quality to my palate.

Drink 2025 - 2065
