Leoville Las Cases 1995 1.5L

Chateau Leoville Las Cases is a legendary estate in Bordeaux, known for producing some of the most iconic wines in the world. The 1995 vintage is a classic example of their exceptional winemaking prowess. The wine has a deep ruby color, and on the nose, it reveals aromas of black cherry, cassis, tobacco, and cedar. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich, with layers of flavors such as black fruit, chocolate, and spices. The tannins are firm and well-structured, providing an excellent backbone to the wine. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a pleasant aftertaste that lingers on the palate. This wine has the potential to age for several more years, but it is also enjoyable now with decanting. Overall, this is a beautiful and complex wine that showcases the greatness of Chateau Leoville Las Cases.

Robert Parker - 95 Points

"The 1995 Léoville Las Cases is a blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc. Medium garnet colored with a touch of brick, it needs a fair bit of swirling to unlock the intense notes of baked plums, dried mulberries and boysenberry preserves with hints of black truffles, Chinese five spice, unsmoked cigars and dusty soil, plus wafts of beef drippings and cast-iron pan. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers good weight and generous fruit, supported by plush tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with loads of earth, sautéed herbs and mineral-inspired flavors."

Antonio Galloni - 94+ Points

"Deep ruby-red. Deep, lively aromas of red- and blackcurrants, licorice, tobacco and grilled nuts. Great sweetness and silky texture in the mouth currently overshadows the wine strong supporting acidity and tight core of spice and minerals. The toothcoating tannins don't cover as much of the mouth as those of the '96 do, but this wine offers uncanny length."
