Bordeaux Total René Gabriel:

04: Die Farbe ist fast schwarz, nur ganz wenig rubine Reflexe am Rand. Rauchiges Bouquet mit viel schwarzen Beeren, Palisander- und Teakholz, ein Hauch Minze darin. Extrem feiner Gaumen, seidige Tannine, wieder Holunder und Brombeeren, die Gerbstoffe strahlen eine dezente Süsse aus und alle Komponenten sind bereits harmonisch. Wer ihn jetzt trinkt, kann sich schon ansatzweise auf ein gewaltiges Erlebnis gefasst machen. Wer ihn in zehn Jahren mit den allerbesten Médoc-Weinen vergleicht, wird hier einen möglichen Sieger erleben. Bewertung 19/20. -René Gabriel-

Robert Parker Wine Advocate:

The 1998 Léoville Las Cases is a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet colored with a touch of brick, it delivers pronounced, beautifully pure crème de cassis, blackberry preserves and prunes scents with an undercurrent of cigar box, licorice, pencil lead and hoisin, plus a touch of espresso. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has impressive richness and depth, coating the mouth with velvety tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and spicy. Still very youthful, this wine is in that sweet spot where it has considerable evolution and yet bags of fruit. Drink it now and for the next 20 years+. Drink Date 2021-2041. Rating 94/100. -Lisa Perrotti-Brown-

Vinous:

The 1998 Léoville Las-Cases is a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc. This is fresh and lively on the nose, quite backward and certainly one of the most “undeveloped” of the 1998 Left Banks that I tasted. I appreciate the delineation on display here, the black fruit opening with time, secondary scents of seaweed, pencil lead and a touch of truffle emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, plenty of taut black fruit laced with iron and that beguiling marine-like tincture that runs from start to finish. This is a solid Las-Cases and 20 years of age that probably still needs another four or five years in bottle. Excellent and moreover and it improved with aeration after a two-hour decanting. Tasted at the château. Drink Date 2018-2030. Rating 93/100. -Neal Martin-
