1982 Ch. Léoville Las Cases, St Julien
Product: 1982-0750-00-8007922
Description
If the 1855 Classification was rewritten tomorrow there is little doubt that this aristocratic estate would be reclassified as a First Growth. Their 1982 is probably the finest wine Las Cases has ever produced and coming from what many consider to be the finest vintage of the 20th century, it’s little wonder that the combination of magnificent vintage and phenomenal estate produced such an epic wine. Rich, full-bodied, concentrated and bursting with ripe fruit, this is the epitome of elegance, purity and balance. No cellar is complete without this exalted Claret.
