Chateau Leoville-Las Cases 'Grand Vin de Leoville', Saint-Julien, France 2021 Birkweiler and the special texture dueThe grand vin of Leoville Las Cases, one of the great 'super seconds' of the Medoc, from its walled Grand Clos vineyard bordering Chateau Latour in Saint Julien. The 2021 is classically built and aristocratic, with cassis, graphite, cedar and violet framed by precise, fine grained tannins and a long, structured finish. James Suckling 97 points.
