Château Léoville Las Cases 2020

Wenn sich ein Wein mit so viel Präzision und Fülle presentiert, vermittelt er von Anfang an und außergewöhnliches Level. Der Gaumen wird dadurch herausgefordert, aber eigentlich ist er es gewohnt, die Versprechungen des Bouquets zu erfüllen! The cremigen and dichten tanninen ist der Wein von großer Kraft und Fülle. Es ist an imposing, imperialer Las Cases, der wie üblich ein großes Reifepotenzial ankündigt, aber, and das ist sein unglaubliches Talent, er schafft es, seine Finesse und Subtilität zu zeigen. Die Magie von Las Cases! 2028-2055.

After bottling, Château Leoville Las Cases exudes a powerful aura of “dignity and prestige”. Both the scents of graphite and iron powder, and the titanium body structure give a strong sense of distance, and for a moment I did not even dare to look directly into his deep eyes. Therefore, with every swirl of the glass I listened patiently to its heartbeats, feeling the ethereal fragrance of violet, the sourness and freshness of jujube and waxberry, and the fresh aromas of fennel and rosemary only owned by Cabernet Sauvignon in a hot vintage. The underground clay soil of Château Leoville Las Cases is truly a gift in 2020, for it not only gives this wine a sour plum soup-like freshness but also builds a solid structure soaring into the sky on the palate. Even after 50 years of aging, its legend only continues to grow, forever immortalized in its exceptional taste.

Dark, intense and purple color. Large complex nose, fresh, very pure and floral. Background of wood, hazelnut, licorice, reminding me of the young Las Cases of yesteryear (1986). Soft on the palate, very aromatic in the middle, with lots of brightness and a dominant of violet and licorice, the wine melts on the palate, magical, powerful, sappy, deep, without any tannic angle. Its rating could increase during aging in bottles. Aged in 85% new wood. Duration 16 months.
