1982 Ch. Leoville Las Cases

This dry red wine still has deep purple colour. On nose it has pronounced level aromas of blackcurrant, bell pepper, black cherry, licorice, pine wood, forest floor and touch of graphite and smoke. Medium acidity, alcohol and quite full bodied with medium ripe and fine grained tannin. Quite high intensity flavours of black cherry, licorice, vegetal and touch of smoke. Fairly long length with blackberry finish. (92)

 三十多年的酒仍有很深的顏色。香味很強亦很複雜，表明了這酒有一定的質素。酒在口中仍有一定重量，單寧成熟，口感柔順。只是酒味在口中的複雜性減弱了不少，有點失望，可喜的是餘韻仍長，好喝的，但早多幾年可能仲好。酒明顯已過了頂，現在雖未至於開始下跌，但應不遠了。
