1983 from magnum. Not the most complex or explosive, but well-scaled, balanced and fresh.

Sue Marsh

Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

Greg Gregory

BYOB.

Wes Pearson

So interesting, wouldn't want to hang on to it any longer but still very pleasurable drinking from an underrated vintage

Zoe Shyn

sophisticated. fancy. loved

Ron Siegel

Classic old school style of Las Cases that is fully mature showing red & black fruits, currant, cedar, leather, dried herbs & tobacco. Not the power or length of the 82 & 86 but very enjoyable.

Michael Walker

Not the least bit musty...impressive

Jamie Walker

1983 never tasted so good

Just had this in Bordeaux a few weeks ago. Like most wines of this vintage it took a bit of imagination to fully appreciate. It is clearly time to drink this wine, it may be on the downhill side of life. Overall a good experience for what was not noted as a premium vintage, but is a very solid wine.
