Last Tasted 8/92 This is one of those rare examples of a 1983 that is formidably powerful as well as young and backward. I do not know how Leflaive achieved such a monstrous-sized wine that has remained so fresh and unevolved for nearly a decade. Although I have seen more evolution in the last 24 months than I did in the wine's first 7 years of life, it still needs at least 2 more years of cellaring. A huge wine by Leflaive's standards, and more massive and alcoholic than the domaine would prefer, it has turned out to be one of the great 1983s.
