Leoville Las Cases 2014 750ml

Château Léoville Las Cases, the Saint-Julien second growth whose Grand Enclos borders Château Latour, is often ranked alongside the Médoc's first growths. The 2014 vintage was rescued by a warm, sunny late September and October, and the estate picked over twelve days from the end of September into mid-October. The blend is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc and 10% Merlot. James Suckling awarded it 98 points, praising its blackberry, blueberry and floral aromatics, ultra-fine tannins and "incredible length." Wine Enthusiast named it a Cellar Selection for its powerful fruit and built-to-last structure. Approachable now with decanting, it should age gracefully through 2045 and beyond.
