Scores

2010 Leoville Las Cases: As one would expect, this is a powerful, concentrated wine with 13.7% natural alcohol (compared to 2005's 13.2%). The pH is quite normal at 3.56, and its relatively high total acidity gives it a classic, fresh, yet backward style. Given how long vintages such as 1982, 1986, and I suspect, 2000 are taking to reach maturity, prospective purchasers of this wine should easily invest in a decade of cellaring, although I suspect it will be closer to 15 or more years before it reveals secondary nuances. A good 40- to 50-year wine, it is a dense purple, full-bodied style of Las Cases, with classic sweet kirsch, graphite and black currant fruit as well as hints of new saddle leather and subtle oak. Backward, layered and multi-dimensional, the wine is stunningly rich, but brooding. Forget it at least until 2020 or later. Robert Parker

Tasting Notes

Very intense aromas full of ripe dark fruits with sweet cedar notes and a hint of tobacco. The palate is packed full of cassis and blackberry fruit with warm, dried fruit characters. Roasted coffee and cedar notes add character, while a very refreshing acidity carries through to the finish. Over-all, a powerful and elegant wine which will need a decade or more before it is ready to drink. Drink 2025 ¿ 2040.
