The 2005 Léoville Las Cases is a classic that ranks among the wines of the vintage in the Médoc. Wafting from the glass with notes of dark berries, cassis, incense, burning embers, sweet soil tones, dark chocolate and cigar wrapper, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a vibrant core of fruit, lively acids and sweet, powdery tannins. More elegant and refined than the hulking, uncompromising 2006, the 2005 is nevertheless a powerful, tightly wound wine that will reward further bottle age, even if it's actually quite expressive today.

94 /100

This is still too young to drink, and provides a lesson in how Léoville Las Cases can be out of step with the rest of its appellation. This remains austere, with tannins that are well built but still hiding the dark chocolate shavings, cloves, cassis, slate and black truffle character underneath. Right now this is a 2005 that accentuates the structure of the year, and is not yet showing its generosity. Mouthwatering finish though, with the fresh acidities that make this wine such an ageing powerhouse. Give it time, the rewards will come. 50% new oak. mark LLC and make it such an ageing powerhouse.

Deep dark garnet, black core, purple reflections. Inviting ripe fruit on the nose, fine nougat, fascinating precision. Transparent fruit on the palate, a wine of great finesse, freshness and complexity, red berryish nuances, silky-sweet tannins, wonderful length, a perfect wine with just under 13% alcohol. Great ageing potential, undoubtedly of premier cru quality.

About the grape

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.

Serving

Rød Bordeaux Blend serveres bedst ved 16-18°C, hvor vinens frugt, struktur og kompleksitet står skarpest. Serveres den for varm, kan alkoholen virke mere dominerende, mens for lav temperatur dæmper aromaerne. Bordeaux anbefaler selv 16-18°C til strukturerede og lagringsværdige rødvine.
