La Cave d'Argent Likes this wine: 99 points
October 19, 2017 - 2017 New York Wine Experience Trip; 10/16/2017-10/25/2017 (New York City, NY): This youthful-appearing, opaque ruby wine is a blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc and 9% Merlot. Packed with black currants, black cherries, graphite, exotic spices, dark chocolate, hazelnuts and tobacco, it is fresh, full-bodied, fleshy and layered. With big sweet tannins, integrated alcohol and harmonious oak, it coats the palate and seems to last forever on the finish. This iteration of Léoville-Las-Cases approaches perfection, which it may achieve with a bit more time in the cellar. Drink 2020-2050.
