1996 Château Léoville Las Cases

Community Tasting Note

93 Points

Thursday, November 2, 2017 - This wine is delicious, beautifully mannered, charming and well-made, but all in a limited way. It lacks the bite, the animale quality, which Las Cases usually has. Whilst not short, neither does it have the savour and length which it should have. It is much too benign. As before, I am convinced that the reverse osmosis machine has done its work far too well. It is a lovely, easy-going wine which has missed its way in this very fine vintage -- it should have been up there with Ch Latour and Ch Margaux, but it isn't.
