Grand Vin du Château Léoville Las Cases 2021 – Saint-Julien 2ème Grand Cru Classé

The nose is elegant, silky and shows relative delicacy, finesse, complexity, depth and a certain concentration in finesse. There are notes of blackcurrant, blackberry and slightly liquorice stick combined with fine touches of toast, cardamom and slightly fresh/juicy black plum as well as nice minerality, fleshy cherry, discrete hints of bergamot, blueberry, lily and a subtle hint of pepper/vanilla bourbon. The palate is delicate, fruity, elegant, nicely juicy, precise and reveals nice definition, depth, some concentration (in finesse). On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blackberry, crushed cassis and more lightly fresh/juicy small red berries combined with hints of lily, cornflower as well as hints of blue plum, liquorice stick, discrete hints of caramelisation, toastiness, fine graphite, toasted hazelnut. A subtle hint of camphor (in the background), a nice minerality/sapidity on the finish. A nice suppleness and sapidity of the tannins. A nice sapid and airy persistence.
