Grand Vin de Leoville

The 2014 Léoville Las Cases has a delicious bouquet with very precise, mineral-rich aromas of black fruits streaked with oyster shells, which seems to be a leitmotif of Jean-Huber Delon's 2014s! On the palate it is medium-bodied with a wonderful purity and tension, the acidity is beautifully balanced and gives the wine a palpable sense of energy from start to finish. Where it really shines is in the finish: exquisite structure, very complex with enormous persistence that lasts for more than a minute. Certainly the wine of the appellation, ditto one of the best 2014s on the left bank.
