CHATEAU LEOVILLE LAS CASES 1982 |

Château Léoville Las Cases 1982 St. Julien, 2ème Cru Classéu.4bn, 2vts, 1hs, 1 torn capsule, 1 slightly sunken cork, excellent color and clarityIn 2019, this has the breed of the very top crus, second to none. A great, definite scent, classy and oozing fruit. On the palate, the huge framework is covered by rich, velvety texture. As it ages, it seems to gain in complexity and power, so a win-win situation however you look at it! In 2020, a very deep colour, constant to the rim. Ultra spicy, youthful cassis nose - this wine just does not seem to move, suspended in its own, glorious, time. The fruit and structure are remarkable, opulent, cedary and so incredibly 'juicy'. This is a landmark Lascases - and a landmark 1982. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 95+7 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
