Weinwisser: "84 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 11 % Cabernet Franc, 5 % Merlot, pH 3.60, Alkohol 13.1 vol %, 31 hl/ha. Dicht verwobenes, hochkonzentriertes Bouquet, verführerisches Veilchenparfüm und ein Hauch Schokopastillen. Im zweiten Ansatz edle Cassiswürze, Gewürznelke und heller Tabak. Am komplexen Gaumen mit guter Fülle, gepaart mit Finesse, dabei mit ungeheurem Zug, engmaschigem Tanningerüst, feinkörnigem, reifem Extrakt und durchtrainiertem Körper. Im konzentrierten, nicht enden wollenden Finale Wildkirsche, Grafit und erhabene Adstringenz."

James Suckling: "Complex, refined and truly mineral, this has natural vibrancy and freshness as well as excellent depth. Light midpalate concentration but also no sweetness at all. Medium- to full-bodied with chalky, stony tannins and a long, very tense finish. A vintage of delicacy and finesse. If you seek less alcohol and less power, this will be a great year to buy. 84% cabernet sauvignon, 11% cabernet franc and 5% merlot."

Vinum: "Rubinrot mit Purpurreflexen; ein komplexer, feiner Duft, subtil, distinguiert, nobel, Waldfrüchte, Veilchen, Tee, Kräuter, mit mehr Luft deutlich Cassis; am Gaumen hochelegant, Massen an Gerbstoff stützen die Frucht, der Wein baut eine grosse Spannung auf, vertikal, straff, präzis und von erhabener Länge. Unverkennbar Las Cases, in einer dem Jahrgang entsprechend eher leichtfüssigen Ausführung."

The Wine Cellar Insider: "Juicy black currants, blackberries, Cuban cigar, cedar, and notes of crème de cassis fill the perfume. On the palate, the wine is long, vibrant, clean, and pure. There is a stately elegance to the currant-filled profile, with layers of blackberries and black cherries adding to its character. Firm, reserved, and refined, the fruits are fresh, boasting a classic profile, but classic in the best way. (…) Only 55% of the harvest was placed into the Grand Vin. Drink from 2030-2060."

Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2024 Château Léoville Las Cases is another incredibly classy wine from this team. It's a blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Merlot, coming in at 13.1% natural alcohol and aging in 75% new barrels. Cassis, spicy oak, graphite, and tobacco all emerge on the nose, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with a focused, elegant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and the notable yet integrated acidity that marks the vintage. Complete and layered, this elegant Las Cases brings to mind the great vintages of the 1980s and 1990s. It will benefit from just a few years in bottle, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it evolve for decades."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: "Deep garnet-purple colored. Sashays out of the glass with gregarious notes of red currant jelly and fresh black cherries, plus nuances of iris, camphor, fragrant soil, and graphite with a touch of underbrush. The medium-bodied palate is refreshing and elegantly knit with very fine-grained tannins and bold red berry flavors, finishing long and minerally."
