2003 Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2eme Cru Classe, Saint-Julien 1x750ml

Robert Parker 95

One of the successes of the vintage, the 2003 Leoville Las Cases becomes more and more reminiscent of the 1982 as it ages. Wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis, pencil shavings, petroleum jelly and vanilla pod, it’s medium to full-bodied, with a broad, fleshy profile and a concentrated core of fruit framed by ripe, velvety tannins. It’s undeniably high pH in profile, but not to excess. [William Kelley, 25/12/2021]
