A star of the vintage, this classy, cedary, black currant, and sweet cherry-scented, dense ruby-colored Las Cases exhibits a beautiful dosage of new oak, medium body, expansive, ripe, concentrated flavors, plenty of glycerin, and exceptional purity. It is low in acidity, and already delicious. Anticipated maturity: now-2016.
Clearly outstanding. Lots of berry, violet and vanilla character. Full-bodied, with extremely silky, polished tannins and a long, minty, mineral aftertaste. Gorgeous.
