Still showing very well! — a month ago
This is a tough one to rate. A 1982 and it drinks beautifully. Not on the decline at all, but happy I opened it for a nice post Xmas meal. The dark berries, leather and tobacco flavors blended and mellowed into a nicely rounded balanced flavor burst that comes out after an hour plus in the decanter. A truly great wine. — 2 months ago
Almost tawny colored and sweet nose but surprising rich fruit though tannins were almost absent. Lovely delicate finish. Drink now — 2 months ago
Still a nice ruby color cedar and dried fruits a mature mouthful. A bit of a short finish — 2 months ago
We decanted and let her warm up from the cellar. Phenomenal as she warmed up and still felt tight and spicy and continued to develop. Reached a massive peak of fullness and complexity faster than expected about 90 minutes after decanting and started to flatten and loose something from there. Final glass to end the evening a full 3 hours later and there was still something there but next time, I would not decant. Rated based on the best drinking period. — 2 months ago
Merry Christmas all. Stepping back in time to 1982 is always a treat for Bordeaux and this Grand Puy Lacoste was the whole package. Tobacco, leather and dark fruits on the nose are replicated perfectly in the palate with a long finish. Felt like we stepped into a time machine. Just fantastic stuff. — 2 months ago

Pretty ripe redfruits still both aromatically and on the palate, nicely balanced, a tad too straightforward, lacking some complexity, but in great condition, long finish. — 18 days ago
