2008 Château Léoville-Las-Cases, Cru Classé St-Julien

2008 Château Léoville-Las-Cases, Cru Classé St-Julien

Inky and opaque, with restrained aromas of berry fruit and cassis, intermixed with vanillin nuances. Deep, intense, with rich fruit and toast on the palate, there are very fine, yet firm tannins on show here. The core is elegant, but this remains an assertive, powerful wine, notably so in the vintage context. Glossy, subdued at present, with a deep core of fruit and a long, lingering finish. Always among the more powerful and structural examples of St.Julien, sharing more in common with the characters so often associated with Pauillac. Robert Parker: 95-97+
