Chateau Leoville-Las Cases 1996 (Previously known as Grand Vin De Leoville Du Marquis De Las Cases) Saint Julien. Second Growth. Base of Neck (BN). Good label. 2 bottles (75cl). Very good vintage. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Score: 98. “… A profound Leoville Las Cases, it is one of the great modern day wines of Bordeaux. This wine's hallmark remains a sur-maturite (over-ripeness) of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape. Yet the wine has retained its intrinsic classicism, symmetry, and profound potential for complexity and elegance. The black/purple color is followed by a spectacular nose of cassis, cherry liqueur, pain grille, and minerals. It is powerful and rich on the attack, with beautifully integrated tannin, massive concentration, yet no hint of heaviness or disjointedness..” Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Score April 1999
