...reveals notes of sweet vanillin intermixed with pure cassis, black cherries, and lead pencil shavings. Elegant and medium-bodied, it possesses a saturated purple color, high tannin, and a structured, backward feel in the mouth. This quintessentially elegant Las Cases needs another 5-7 years to hit its plateau of maturity. It will be one of the Medoc's longest lived wines of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2030.

Just a baby but opened up after 2 hours. Another decade should do.

Wonderful wine that opened up nicely after an hour in the decanter. Great start to an evening with colleagues and just the right choice before we got to the steak where some of the other wines shined a lot more

What a wonderful bottle of classic St. Julien! The world of wine has changed a lot since then… Smoke, graphite, macerated dark fruit. Gorgeously well balanced.

Silky - fruity I had high expectations and was not disapointed. Noting better than to share with family and friends. With my son and his friend, both born in 2001!
