Château Léoville-Las-Cases--Vintage 1982
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
"The 1982 is unquestionably the greatest Léoville-Las-Cases I have ever tasted. As fine as the 1986, 1988, 1989, and 1990 are, this is the wine to own. The color has moved from a dark opaque ruby/purple, to a more garnet tone. The nose offers huge, still immature aromas of cassis, minerals, and that elusive lead pencil smell that is associated more with Pauillac than St. Julien. There is a roasted richness to the wine, as well as tremendous viscosity and unctuosity to the chewy, super concentrated flavors. Full-bodied, and not as classically austere as purists might wish, this multi-dimensional, profound wine is loaded with flavor, and has a phenomenal finish. It is the essence of Léoville-Las-Cases." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Issue 95
