Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2eme Cru 1995 Magnum

Lobenberg: Der Wein explodiert förmlich vor Aromen von dunklen Früchten, Mineralien, Vanille und Gewürzen. Im Gaumen ungeheuer reif, mit langem Finale und beeindruckender Struktur. 97/100

Suckling: I love the aromas here with forest flowers, wild mushrooms and tobacco, as well as currants. Full and very layered with creamy tannins that caress your palate. So long and enticing. Such a gorgeous Bordeaux that is just starting to show its real self. Love it. 97/100 (2021)

Parker: 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. 95/100 (2021)
