Nez de fruits rouge et champignon. Bouche puissante, longue, ronde. Pas une complexité de fou, mais pas trop de bois, ce qui suffit à ma joie. 20/25e la bouteille. Intéressant. Bonne image d'un bin bordelais pas trop parkerisé — 6 years ago

This was a recommendation and I'm glad I got it. Gamay is a grape the mat is suited to the Valley weather and this one lives up to region. Very smooth wand well balanced. Nice taste of cherries and will be good with seafood or beef. Only hope I can get more of this fine BC wine. — 8 years ago

Pure pinot! Lots of fruit, yet satisfying structure and length. Better than most Oregon or Washington pinots I've tried. — 10 years ago

The 2014 Léoville Las-Cases has a (typically) more introverted, tertiary, austere bouquet compared to the Léoville Barton. Despite coaxing it does not possess much lift – sullen, a wine with a "Closed" sign dangling on the front door. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, solid with a sweet core, nicely proportion but just not quite conveying the same joie-de-vivre and energy as its peers. "Perhaps it is saving everything for later?" are the words I penned before this wine's identity is revealed...well, I should have known. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
