Tasting notes

Château Léoville Las Cases is one of the highly esteemed names in Bordeaux, you know. Particularly, the 1982 vintage stands out as a masterpiece that has etched its mark in history. It's primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot and others blended skillfully to balance power with elegance.

In the 31st volume of 'Drops of God,' this wine was introduced when Chris shared it with Shizuku Kanzaki. It was described as being as majestic and confident as a great hawk. It was referred to as the king of wines, a truly awe-inspiring presence.

Pour a glass, and you'll see a deep garnet color with a hint of orange at the rim. The aroma is complex and deep, with notes of black cherry, cassis, and an earthy, tobacco-like maturity. On the palate, rich fruitiness and firm acidity intertwine beautifully, with velvety tannins and a long finish. It's an elegant and complex wine, one to truly savor.
