Antonio Galloni 98+ vinous.com The 2020 Leoville Las Cases has developed into a powerhouse. Then again, that is Las Cases....Blackberryjam, gravel, spice, menthol, licorice, espresso and plum all saturate the palate. Vivid and explosive, the 2020 is dizzyingly rich, with plenty of Las Cases tannins that will require patience....Las Cases is one of the wines of the vintage in 2020.

Neil Martin 98 vinous.com The 2020 Leoville Las-Cases has an intense nose with blackberry, wild strawberry, cassis and just a touch of licorice. It coheres onderfully in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully knot together, with filigree tannins and a bright, tensile finish that fans out with real panache. Of course, it's primal and nascent, yet you can already tell the class.
