The Story

The flagship wine of Château Léoville Las Cases showcases intense aromas of cassis, blackberry, graphite, cedar, violet, and cigar box. Powerful yet impeccably refined, it combines remarkable concentration, seamless tannins, vibrant freshness, and extraordinary length with exceptional aging potential.

Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, grilled ribeye, roast lamb, venison, duck confit, truffle dishes, aged Comté, or braised short ribs.

 

94 Points -

This is so fresh still, just a baby. Blackberry, mineral, floral and blueberry aromas follow through to a full body, with focused, subtle fruit and a racy, refined and reserved tannin structure. This really needs time. Cuddled up in a ball of tannins.—'89/'99 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2009). Best after 2013. 15,000 cases made.
91 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 1999 Leoville Las Cases possesses a dense purple color as well as classic aromas of vanilla, black cherries, and currants mixed with subtle toasty oak. The wine is medium-bodied with sweet tannin, yet it remains young, backward, and unevolved (unusual for a 1999). Its extraordinary purity and overall harmony give it a character all its own. This excellent Las Cases will be at its finest between 2006-2022.
