Château Léoville Las Cases 2ème Cru Classé 1996 is an iconic red wine from Saint-Julien in Bordeaux, France, combining classic Médoc structure with depth, elegance, and great complexity. The wine offers a refined aroma with notes of blackcurrant, dark cherries, cedarwood, tobacco, leather, and subtle spicy nuances, which together create a mature and sophisticated expression.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, structured, and harmonious, with a beautiful balance between dark fruit, fresh acidity, and well-integrated tannins. The long finish underscores the wine's classic character and provides a great wine experience, where finesse, depth, and aged Bordeaux elegance are clearly evident.

Château Léoville Las Cases 1996 pairs particularly well with beef, lamb, game, braised dishes, and mature cheeses. An obvious choice for those seeking a grand and classic Bordeaux with mature complexity, character, and timeless French finesse.

98 /100

The most powerful wine in this vertical is the 2010 Léoville Las Cases, a full-bodied, deep and multidimensional behemoth redolent of rich berries, cassis, burning embers, pencil shavings and loamy soil. Broad-shouldered, layered and muscular, with huge reserves of concentration and sweet, powdery tannin, it concludes with a broad, resonant finish. This is a prodigious, somewhat imposing Las Cases that is still an infant a decade after bottling.- William Kelley, Wine Advocate

Robert Parker wine advocate

95 /100

Deep ruby-garnet colour, purple reflections, subtle rim brightening. Somewhat restrained bouquet, tobacco, dark berry nuances, delicate hints of cassis and liquorice, but also leafy savouriness. Full-bodied, ripe plum fruit, subtle fruit sweetness, well-balanced, lingers well, seems a little withdrawn at the moment, should be given some time, has very good further certain ageing potential.

100 /100

Smoked tea, cassis, blackberry, cigar box, camomile, mint leaf, slate and spice, this explodes out of the glass and then holds its own, going nowhere at all over the two or three hours that we sat around the table enjoying it. The 1970 may have had the initial heartstopping aromatics, but it was the 1996 that delivered long into the night. Concentrated, tannic, confident. Opened 1.5 hours before drinking, 50% new oak.

Rød Bordeaux Blend

Rød Bordeaux Blend er en kombination af de druesorter, der traditionelt bruges til Bordeaux' berømte rødvine. Det er ikke en officiel betegnelse, men en praktisk måde at tale om en vinsstil, der nu dyrkes over hele verden – fra Californien til Australien, Sydafrika til Chile.

Essensen er fleksibilitet: typisk en blend af Cabernet Sauvignon og Merlot, ofte suppleret med Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot og Malbec. Hver drue tilfører noget unikt – struktur, frugt, krydderier eller blødhed.

Rød Bordeaux Blend er for dig, der søger kraftfuld struktur og dybe smagsnuancer. Det er vine med personlighed – nogle kan nydes straks, andre udvikler sig smukt gennem årene. Her får du en vinsstil med historisk fundament, der stadig inspirerer vinmagere verden over.
