Château Leoville Las Cases, Ch. Leoville Las Cases 1983

89 / 100 Robert Parker
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. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted, 3/02.

87 / 100 Wine Spectator
A deceptive Bordeaux which shows extremely gamy, roasted, ripe fruit character, medium body and a silky, slightly austere mouthfeel. Drink or hold.--The Bordeaux 50.

16.5 / 20 Jancis Robinson
Still dark ruby but with a pale rim. Light nose that suggests dry fruit. Very firm finish. There is still a bit of tannin here! In fact I am going to decant it into my wider goblet-type decanter... Pretty austere at the moment - perhaps it will bloom but I don't hold out enormous hope... (No alcohol given on the label then.)
