Château Léoville-Las-Cases--Vintage 1982
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Not in original wooden case. Corroded and worn capsules. Bin-soiled and damaged labels. Levels into neck
Tasting note: This huge wine is, in many ways, just as massive as Léoville-Barton, but it possesses a greater degree of elegance as well as unreal concentration. Classic lead pencil, cassis, kirsch, cedar, and spice characteristics are abundant in both the nose and full-bodied flavours. The tannins are still there, and, this 1982 does not appear to have changed much in the last 10-12 years. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2050. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 183, June 2009.
