Dark ruby core. Little signs of aging. Cassis/cedery nose is still tight but very classy. Smooth velvety structure, med/full bodied. Very concentrated with silky smooth tannins. Still youthful - a brilliant wine for the vintage. Will last another 10-15 years. Excellent.

3 hours bottle breathed, and this was still so fresh with an incredibly dark core.. I called out LB 1996! This 1983 Leoville Las Cases was singing as were all the wines that evening. Like a well oiled orchestra!! Supremely well balanced; Cassis and more blackfruit, acidity M+ and tannins rounded after 40 years! Nose : Ripe blackfruit and cassis, with unmistakable cigar box. As it takes on more air, and as my nose gets used to the complexities.. Graphite and pencil lead with old leather too. Palate : Blackfruits with plums developing after 1 hour too. Mid to full bodied. Very classical style. Tannins - Rounded. Acidity - Medium. Finish - Medium to long length.

Firm, austere, classic style of St. Julien here. The nose is packed with cedar, tobacco, cigar box, ash, wet, forest floor and bright red berries. Medium/full bodied, with a rusticity to the tannins that was common in that era. Still, this is fun to taste, when you're in the mood for the equivalent of an old, black and white, movie style of Bordeaux.

Like so many 1983s, this wine entered full maturity 6-7 years ago and now seems to be suggesting that it needs to be drunk up quickly, as the tannins and acidity continue to take hold, and as the fruit fades. The wine has a dark plum/garnet color with some amber at the edge. The wine is medium-bodied with a bit of sharpness in the finish. However, the aromas and attack of the wine are still intact, but consumption definitely seems warranted.

With time in a wine decanter it really opened out and by the time it was enjoyed with mallard at the JancisRobinson.com Christmas dinner it came into its minerally own with many a layer of subtlety – most notably on the nose.

Château Leoville Las Cases

Château Léoville Las Cases is a wine estate located in Saint-Julien-Beychevelle in the Gironde department. In the Saint-Julien Médoc AOC, it is classified as a second growth in the 1855 classification.

The estate comprises 97 hectares of vineyards. The vineyard adjoins that of Château Latour, separated by the small Juillac stream. At the heart of the estate lies the Grand Clos, a 50-hectare vineyard entirely enclosed by walls, with its entrance guarded by the famous lion adorning the labels of the estate's bottles. The vineyard of Château Léoville Las Cases features a grape variety composition of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. The wine ages for 18 to 20 months in oak barrels, on average 50 to 100% new.

The second wine is Clos du Marquis. It has been produced since 1902. Anecdote: In a scene from the film 'L'Aile ou la Cuisse' (The Wing or the Thigh), the food critic Charles Duchemin (played by Louis de Funès) manages to identify a Léoville Las Cases 1953 'visually' even though he has lost his sense of taste.
