In the bottle, Leoville Las-Cases confirms the outstanding quality of the cask samples I tasted with Michel Delon. Only 45% of the harvest made it into this wine. The result is another classic Leoville Las-Cases with a sweet blackcurrant and toasty mineral-scented nose, bold, medium to full-bodied flavors with excellent richness (there are layers of fruit in this 1992), and a long, tannic finish. The wine can be drunk now or cellared for 12-15 years. It is an outstanding success for the vintage, revealing Leoville Las-Cases' classic style. With elegance and a flattering precociousness, it is more charming at a younger age than Las-Cases is from blockbuster vintages such as 1990, 1989, 1986, 1985, and 1982. This is one of the top stars of the vintage!

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
