5ème Cru Classé
Red

Expert opinion :

Robert Parker
94/100 (6-2009).
One of the most drinkable, complex, and tasty 1982s of the northern Medoc, this wine is beginning to reach its plateau of full maturity. Still a dense ruby/purple color with some lightening at the edge, it offers up classic aromas of cedar wood, fruitcake, tobacco leaf, and creme de cassis. This full-bodied, opulent, fleshy, sexy Pauillac can be drunk now with great pleasure and complexity, or cellared for another 10-15 years. .

This vintage was a modern benchmark for the estate. Intense aromas and flavors of berry, currant, mint and light toasty oak. Full, round and refined, with a long, long finish. Gorgeous. Drinking beautifully.

Jean-Marc Quarin
96/100 (2-2000).
Dark red. Good intensity. Still young! Net. Medium intensity. Smoked. Fruity. Costs. Animal. Barnyard. Las Cases. Clean and supple attack, developing a structure, but fresh and full air, operating on a strong flavor, licorice and fresh, to a firm finish and coated. Long finish complex and nuanced enough. Beautiful fine wine, young and powerful. Las Cases. Less flavor than others!.
