1982 Château Léoville Las Cases

2x halves. PnP. A tale of two halves, both from the same wooden case but behaving very differently.
First bottle - nose was not entirely clean, ever so slightly corked. Very young on the palate, robust and huge wine, years away from reaching the peak. Lively with noticeable acidity to balance out the tannins. (NR).
Second bottle - clean if rather subtle nose, ready now with tannins mostly softened, fairly linear over 2 hours lunch, never did fade or develop further, good but not great bottle, maybe a 94 pointer.

Subtle nose. Acidity a little volatile at the moment. Rich and ripe, tasted like a hot vintage CDP. Finished with heat at backend, not really my kind of thing. Hmmmm…not showing well, maybe just in awkward phase.

Clean nose, bright acidity and substantial on the palate. Plenty of tannins still around and not the most refined tannins. Showing younger than expected. Hopefully with aeration, tannins will be softer. Could be identified as from GC or NSG, robust with a few rough edges. Long finish with tobacco notes lingering on. Still long drinking window ahead.
