Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2014 (1x75cl)

A 2014 Saint-Julien led by Cabernet Sauvignon. Saint-Julien usually sits between the power of Pauillac and the perfume of Margaux, and Cabernet-led wines from here typically carry firm structure that rewards time. At around a decade old it is still relatively young for its style, so it will keep if you have somewhere cool to put it.

A recognisable name for a client gift or a serious dinner, and a fair bottle to buy now and forget about for a few years. If you are opening it soon, decant for an hour or two and pair it with beef, lamb or aged cheese. Free delivery in Hong Kong over HK$800, flat HK$80 below that, standard delivery 2-5 business days.

Tasting notes

Cabernet-led Saint-Julien typically shows blackcurrant, cedar, pencil shavings and a savoury edge, with tannins that are firm but polished. Young examples usually need air to open up.
