2003 Château Léoville Las Cases

Community Tasting Note

93 Points

Thursday, June 18, 2015 - Tasted next to 2003 Cos d'Estournel. Less evolved and exuberant on the nose, more restraint here as you would maybe expect but there is still plenty of ripe cassis fruit and floral notes as well as tobacco and graphite. On the palate quite big and powerful with lots of tannic grip, but round and ripe and less of the drying kind that I find in many 2003s. Very good length. An excellent wine in this vintage and the better of the two in my view - now and probably even more so in the future as this is likely to improve further. 92-93+
