Procedente de un complejo terroir situado en la denominación de origen Saint-Julien, Château Léoville Las Cases ofrece un gran vino con una personalidad única. Su cosecha de 2006 es una mezcla de 85% de Cabernet Sauvignon, 14,5% de Merlot y el resto de Cabernet Franc
Con un tono púrpura opaco, el Château Léoville Las Cases de 2006 exhibe aromas clásicos de frambuesas dulces, kirsch y grosellas negras junto con sutiles notas amaderadas. De relativo cuerpo, este vino es concentrado, con un tanino medio a alto
Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London and then blind at Farr Vintners horizontal, the 2006 Château Léoville Las-Cases has a very complex bouquet with heady scents of blackcurrant, kirsch, crushed violets, rock salt and just a hint of cassis. It is backward and can barely contain its energy. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, very symmetrical and poised, a fine line of acidity interwoven through the black fruit, touches of citrus fruit developing towards the poised and tensile finish. This is a beautiful wine from Jean-Hubert Delon, but it needs several years in bottle. Tasted April 2016.
