Critics Ratings
"Another underrated vintage for this estate is the 2002 Léoville Las Cases, an impressively deep and concentrated wine that still has considerable upside potential. Offering up aromas of crème de cassis, plums, loamy soil, pencil shavings and nicely integrated new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with a deep core of fruit framed by sweet, powdery tannins. This is a concentrated, characterful classic that is aging with real grace. I have enjoyed three bottles this year, but there's no rush, as the wine remains an adolescent in terms of evolution." - William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94/100 (Aug 2022)
"Mid crimson. Racy, quite subtle nose. Strongly cassis and cedar, almost like textbook claret. Pretty firm." - Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Mar 2012)
