Leoville Las Cases 2010
CRITIC REVIEWS
Julia Harding MW
Tasted blind. Youthful colour. And youthful aroma of vanilla-laced sweet fruits. Ton of oak spice. Oaky and a bit severe on the palate. Oak has beaten the fruit into submission but I think the fruit is there. Sweet-sour finish. I re-tasted this after the unveiling, and knowing how long this wine takes to come round, I raised my score but only by half a point. It really is pretty tough right now. (JH)

Unusually for Las Cases I am smelling a little sweet oak. It’s lighter and less concentrated than I would have expected though there is no shortage of stoniness. Lively on the end – in fact one of the few 2010s in which I am really conscious of the acidity. Was it relatively early picked? A slightly lean 2010.
