A blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc, the deep garnet-coloured 2010 Léoville Las Cases offers tons of evolving black fruit on the nose with hints of crème de cassis, plums and incense as well as puffs of clove, cedar, cigar box and cinnamon powder. Full-bodied, rich, bold and decadently fruity, it has a solid structure of grainy tannins, and the oak is barely perceptible on the palate. It closes impressively with long lasting mineral notes.
