(Château Léoville Las Cases) Dark red violet color, lightly bricked, with pale meniscus; pencil lead, graphite, tart black fruit nose; tasty, pencil lead, graphite, tart black fruit palate, with years to go yet; long finish
(Château Léoville Las Cases) From magnum -dried mushroom, truffle and beef bouillon nose; tasty, au point, with tertiary flavors still minor compared to the deep black fruit, much more youthful than most of the '82s I've had; medium-plus finish
