2003 Chateau Leoville Las Cases;
Very fruit driven, very ripe tannins, almost gone, acidity could be fresher, how will it age? 88
2000 Chateau Leoville Las Cases;
Closed, very youthfull, dark berries, complex and fresh acidity, ripe tannins, keep 10 more years or more. 92
1996 Chateau Leoville Las Cases;
Even this one closed, not much more developed than the 2000, and even more tannins, acidity not quite as fresh, needs time. Keep ten more years. 91
1990 Chateau Leoville Las Cases;
Starting to mature, what a wine, fantastic freshness and acidity, perfect balance, maturing tannins, complex and elegant, long finish. Can keepanother ten years or more. 96
1978 Chateau Leoville Las Cases;
(Magnum) Great structure, fresh acidity, lots of mature tannins, mature aromas, and still going strong. Have had bottle variations on the 78, this was one of the best. Fantastic finish for the vintage. 92
1970 Chateau Leoville Las Cases;
(Magnum) Again bottlevariations, this is not the best 70 I have had of Las Cases, not quite togheter, and I suspect slightly corked. 87'ish
