Description

Great blackcurrant concentration on the nose, sweet and pure, almost creamy, there are lots of layers of black fruits coming through on the palate, with some good complexity which is rare in this vintage and a testament to the quality on Las Cases terroir. The finish is very pure, fresh, long and multi layered. Jean Hubert Delon and his team have yet again performed very well and produced a wine with little scars from the vintage. For me it will be a classic Las Cases and a lovely wine to drink in years to come. My  wine of the vintage.

Critics reviews

Neal Martin MW 92/100
The 2013 Leoville-Las Cases has perhaps one of the most understated bouquets for this estate in recent years. I do not mean that in a bad sense, after all, this was a vintage whereby it would be foolish to push too much. It gently unfolds with blackberry, bilberry and a light marine influence - iodine, a hint of black olive. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, nicely balanced with a saline note that comes through towards the finish. I appreciate the cohesiveness and refinement of this Leoville-Las Cases, certainly one of the best Mdocs of this difficult vintage.Neil Martin - 28/10/2016
