Léoville-Las-Cases, St-Julien "100-point Dream Case" (Six 1.5L) Pre-Arrival

100 points Robert Parker for each of these spectacular wines. 600 points in one legendary case! Packed in a special wood box, and must be sold as a set. Includes six 1.5L bottles, two bottles each of 1982, 1986 and 2000. This comes direct from the chateau. Needless to say, very limited! From Parker, for the 1982: "The nose offers up blazingly well-delineated, pure aromas of creme de cassis, cherry jam, minerals, and toasty new oak. This unctuously-textured, gorgeously rich, pure, super-concentrated, low acid effort concludes with a 45+ second finish. There is still tannin to shed in this unbelievably fresh, lively, full-bodied, vibrant wine. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2035." The 1986: "The wine is full-bodied, exceptionally well-delineated, and phenomenally concentrated. Still unevolved and youthful, this is one of the most profound Leoville-Las-Cases, but for my palate, it remains a notch behind both the 1982 and 1996. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2030." For the 2000: "This seamless classic builds in the mouth, with a finish that lasts over 60 seconds. Still primary, yet extraordinarily pure, this compelling wine, which continues to build flavor intensity and exhibit additional layers of texture, is a tour de force in winemaking and certainly one of the great Leoville Las Cases." Please Note - This is a pre-arrival purchase that will be delivered late December 2005
