Château Léoville-Las Cases 2011

This has some toast to shed, but retains a terrific core of crushed plum and blackberry confiture. Has a beautiful ripple of charcoal for texture, honest acidity for balance and a bolt of iron that keeps this firmly grounded. A brick-house Cabernet. Best from 2018 through 2030. Special Designation: Collectibles. Score - 95. (James Molesworth, winespectator.com, March 2014)
