Full-bodied and concentrated, the palate is deep, tight and brooding, with firm, powdery tannins and a finely layered structure. While still showing a restrained and somewhat austere character, it delivers precision, complexity and remarkable depth, leading to a long, evolving finish with significant aging potential.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine Advocate | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(151, 8, 1); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eRP 95\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished:  Aug 18, 2022\u003cbr\u003eDrink: 2026-2066\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2006 Léoville Las Cases is muscular and uncompromising, unwinding to reveal aromas of dark berries, cassis, burning embers, espresso roast, exotic spices, loamy soil and toasty oak. Full-bodied, rich and extracted, it's a deep, brooding wine with considerable depth and concentration, framed by an abundance of sweet, powdery tannin.

The trademark restraint of Las Cases was in full display, with elegant aromas of red currant, pomegranate and blackberry and hints of gunflint, cedar, and clove. The texture is silky and very fine rather than powerful. This wine is beginning to open up now, but it will definitely improve with more time in the cellar. A wait of five more years would be prudent, then drink over the next 30.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJancis Robinson | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(151, 8, 1); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eJR 16.5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished:  Jan 27, 2016\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRich and intense with great ambition.
