Léoville Las Cases 2006 is a full-bodied, Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the St-Julien appellation of Bordeaux. Owned by the Delon family since the mid-20th century, Château Léoville-Las Cases is a Second Growth wine estate situated in Saint-Julien. The property covers 98 hectares of vineyards, and the vines are situated alongside those of Château Latour, just over the Saint-Julien border. "The 2006 Château Léoville Las-Cases has a very complex bouquet with heady scents of blackcurrant, kirsch, crushed violets, rock salt and just a hint of cassis. It is backward and can barely contain its energy. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, very symmetrical and poised, a fine line of acidity interwoven through the black fruit, touches of citrus fruit developing towards the poised and tensile finish. This is a beautiful wine from Jean-Hubert Delon, but it needs several years in bottle." Wine Advocate, 2016
