Château Léoville-Barton--Vintage 1982
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Level: into neck; slightly torn label, damp stained label
"This traditionally made, old style, extremely dense, powerful wine requires another 7-10 years of cellaring. An opaque dark garnet color is followed by aromas of sweet cedar, old wood, truffles, smoke, and underbrush. Big, thick, juicy, black currant, and cherry flavors can be found in this muscular, monster-sized, exceedingly tannic, dense, backward wine. Immensely impressive for its size, strength, and structure, this 1982 requires another 5-10 years of cellaring. It is unquestionably one of the most concentrated wines of the Médoc, and it should last another 30-40 years. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2050." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #129 (Jun 2000)
