As Saint-Julien’s benchmark \"Super Second,\" Las Cases is widely celebrated for producing wines with the depth, density, and immense structural longevity that directly rivals the First Growths.

Now at an exquisite stage of peak maturity, it greets the nose with a wonderfully complex, tertiary bouquet of dried blackcurrants, stewed plums, and exotic cedar wood, shifting into deep layers of cigar box, old leather, iron ore, and forest floor. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and seamlessly integrated, showcasing a silk-like texture where the powerful tannins of its youth have completely softened and resolved. Balanced by a fine line of acidity, it finishes incredibly long, dry, and savory, with lingering notes of truffle and dried tobacco leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVintage:\u003c\/b\u003e 1983\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eRegion\/Appellation:\u003c\/b\u003e Saint-Julien, Left Bank, Bordeaux, France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Château Léoville Las Cases\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGrape:\u003c\/b\u003e Left Bank Bordeaux Blend (Predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/b\u003e Fully Mature, Complex, and Savory Left Bank Red Bordeaux\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePerfect for (food pairing):\u003c\/b\u003e Fine cuts of roasted or grilled beef, slow-braised venison or wild boar, roasted rack of lamb with an earthy herb-mustard crust, and wood-pigeon or pheasant.
