Château Léoville Las Cases 2006 (1 IMP)

Château Léoville Las Cases 2006

St. Julien, 2ème Cru Classé

Excellent level, label has one small stain, embossed metal capsule

40 hl/ha. 43% went into the 'grand vin'. 65% new oak. 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.5% Merlot, 0.5% Cabernet Franc. Deep colour. The nose is more complex and with more power than the 2007. Very supple tannins and fruit on the palate, with length and some firmness still at the finish when tasted in 2010. Needs 4-5 years to express itself fully. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
