(Château Léoville Las Cases) Mushroom and caramel popcorn nose; tasty, bright raspberry and red fruit with too pronounced buttered popcorn oak edges; medium-plus finish 90+ pts.

A word I don’t associate with LLC - voluptuous. This is a thing of beauty. Short decant. Long finish.

Lovely evolved Lascases and that's always so rare to say. Deep ruby red color hardly any signs of aging on the rim. Nose of perfumed cassis, lots of graphite, pencil lead, cigar box, blackberries, pepper. Great weight, medium to full bodied, coats mid palate with dark red and black fruits, finishes very long with some bitter chocolate notes.a hedonistic LLC at last?

1st of 36, opened an hour then decanted 90 minutes, perfect level curiously crumbly but clean cork - glossy, dark but transparent ruby, purple rimmed; very much on the cassis fruit, fresh and pure for 03, hints of cigar box and graphite, fragrant, complex and classy; fullish, very long, persistent, decent concentration, fruit masking fine tannic underpinning, much simpler as yet than nose, really quite adolescent but with volume and drive of fine vintage, beautiful balance for 03, much upside here, 30+ years. At least VF (18.5)........has 1st growth quality and will take decades to show its true potential; my sense is that it's behind 62, 75, 82, 85, 86, 90, 96 and the potentially sensational 2000- time will tell!

During a Matter of Taste dinner, no detailed tasting notes. Dense dark fruit with torrefaction. Good enough freshness for 2003, medium complexity.
