Château Léoville-Las-Cases--Vintage 1982
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Lot 785 levels: into neck. Lot 786 level: into neck; missing label, cut capsule to reveal Château and vintage stamp
"Tasted three times over a two month period, this youthful yet profoundly complex wine gets my nod as the finest Léoville-Las-Cases ever made. It reveals massive proportions yet extraordinary purity, elegance, and balance. This dense ruby/purple-colored 1982 still looks and tastes as if it were 5-8 years old. The nose offers up blazingly well-delineated, pure aromas of creme de cassis, cherry jam, minerals, and toasty new oak. This unctuously-textured, gorgeously rich, pure, super-concentrated, low acid effort concludes with a 45+ second finish. There is still tannin to shed in this unbelievably fresh, lively, full-bodied, vibrant wine." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #129 (Jun 2000)
