Any doubts as the defence of Leinster's European title were blown out of the water in emphatic style as Michael Cheika's men romped to a bonus-point victory over pool rivals Scarlets.
Shane Horgan put them on the right track with a blistering score inside four minutes and Shane Berne and Jamie Heaslip did the rest.
The pair were peerless on the night, Heaslip leading the charge with a hand in three of the four tries while Berne pulled the strings behind a dominant pack and kicked his goals.
The result leaves Leinster level with London Irish at the top of Pool Six on ten points and will be relishing the prospect of a second game against the Scarlets in Dublin next week.
The injury-hit Welsh region may have been without a handful of their leading players, but this was the only team from Britain or Ireland to have won both their opening games of this tournament.
Hence Cheika knew this game could potentially go some way to decided their fate in a closely fought Pool Six, though he could hardly have imagined such a ruthless response from his charges.
Leinster were imperious during a first half blitz that brought three tries and effectively ended this game as a contest after just half an hour. After that it was a case of damage limitation for the Scarlets, and just a matter of time before Leinster recorded their bonus point.
As it was, it took 30 minutes of the second half to record their fourth try, through Sean O'Brien, but the result will send a clear message to the rest of Europe that they are not about to give up their title lightly.
Leinster got to grips with proceedings early doors and notched their first try within four minutes of the start. Horgan received the ball on half-way and quickly burst through two defenders and stepped past another two to score.
That try set the tone for the night, with the visitors looking to run the ball at every opportunity. Where Horgan led, Gordon D'Arcy and Shaun Berne followed before half-time as the champions racked up 22 points without reply.
The D'Arcy try owed as much to the work of Heaslip as it did to the quick hands of the back line that gave Isa Nacewa half a yard of space on the left wing.
He skinned his man, raced into the 22 and up to the full back before delivering the money ball to D'Arcy, who scored at the posts. Berne added the extras again and then popped up on the right wing to take a scoring pass on 29 minutes.
Leinster soon felt the anticipated backlash after what must have been some half-time rollicking in the home dressing room and new Wales centre Jonathan Davies proved why his being billed as the "next Scott Gibbs" by powering through D'Arcy to score.
Nathan Hines was sin-binned for killing the ball at a ruck but tempers boiled over after Sean Lamont's shoulder charge on Nacewa sparked a mass shoving match.
That incensed the home crowd but the howls from the stands didn't stop Berne from steadying the ship with his second penalty.
Having weathered the second storm, Leinster got resumed normal service on 72 minutes with their fourth try that wrapped up the victory and a bonus point to boot.
Heaslip was again the catalyst, charging forward from close range before showing tremendous awareness to slip his pass out of the tackle for O'Brien to score. Berne converted and the final eight minutes was plain sailing as Leinster savoured a big win.
