An exceptional pairing: the legendary 1982 Léoville-Las Cases offers immense power, structure, and notes of blackcurrant, cedar, and spice. It is a classic, full-bodied expression of Saint-Julien that still has plenty of life left in it.
The 2006 Château d'Yquem, on the other hand, provides a beautifully sweet and luscious experience, with honeyed pineapple, apricot, and orange flavors balanced by vibrant acidity. Though delightful now, its remarkable balance and freshness suggest it can age for many more decades, continuing to develop complexity. Both are truly magnificent.
