Château Leoville Las-Cases 2emé Cru Classé, Saint-Julien, 2010, 300cl 18+ slowly unfurling to reveal theThe most powerful wine in this vertical is the 2010 Loville Las Cases, a full bodied, deep and multidimensional behemoth redolent of rich berries, cassis, burning embers, pencil shavings and loamy soil. Broad shouldered, layered and muscular, with huge reserves of concentration and sweet, powdery tannin, it concludes with a broad, resonant finish. This is a prodigious, somewhat imposing Las Cases that is still an infant a decade after bottling.
