about this wine:
"A beautiful svelte nose : jammy cherry toasty fruit. Still much too closed but with masses of powerful blackcherry. Sweet & pure. Well-integrated tannins...second wine of Leoville Las Cases in 1996 offers a sumptuous, rich bouquet, an intense dark color, and great balance. The oldest second wine from Bordeaux, it is worthy of a Grand Cru Classé..Such is the greatness of Léoville-Las Cases in 1996 that this second wine presents more as a Grand Vin. Complex and multi-faceted, it is excellent now but will improve further...Red, Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, 12.5% alcohol"

Aromas of raspberry and citrus, with just a hint of sweet tobacco. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and a caressing, layered tannin structure. Very well made. Excellent. Best after 2011. –JS
