What the critics say
97 WAWine Advocate, William Kelley, 30-12-2022
As I wrote earlier this year, the 1982 Léoville Las Cases is one of the least evolved wines of the vintage, and this impeccably conserved ex-château bottle was, if anything, even more youthful still. Retaining a saturated ruby-black hue at age 40, it unwinds in the glass with aromas of cassis and other dark fruits mingled with notions of pencil shavings and loamy soil. On the palate, it's full-bodied, broad-shouldered and muscular, with an ample core of fruit framed by voluminous, powdery tannins. Rich and concentrated, with an expansive, comparatively low-acid profile, it comes into its own with extended aeration—and with food.

The 1982 Léoville Las-Cases was much feted back in the day, with perfect scores commonplace, though over the years I have found it rather curmudgeonly and surpassed by the '86. This has an intriguing bouquet that takes time to cohere, revealing scents of blackberry, leather, loam and light liquorice. The palate is medium-bodied with firm grip, very impressive in terms of structure, with a little more freshness than the bottle three years earlier and a bit more openness and expressiveness. However, it is outperformed by both the Gruaud Larose and the Léoville Poyferré. Tasted single blind at the 1982 dinner at Cornus in London.
