The 1982 is very nice right now. Black cherry and cigar tobacco in in the nose. Soft rich full fruit flavor with vibrant acidity. Very nice now but will hold up for a few years to come. Long bright finish. Lovey wine. — 3 years ago
1982 in July 2018... brilliant wine — 4 years ago
Beautiful garnet color. Smokey, musty, and earthy on the nose. Cedar, black raspberries, leather, and tobacco. Well integrated and not overpowering. Very satisfying finish. A real treat to drink a 40-year old wine that is so pleasing to smell, look at, and taste. — 5 days ago
Dark color, opaque. Has some (good) funk on the nose. Notes of black fruit, cedar desk, leather saddle, cracked walnuts and some blood sausage. Coats the mouth with softened tannins and rich fruit. Sort of angular rather than lush. Much better tonight than the last time I had this many years ago. In a great window. Enjoy now and for a long time in the future. — 6 months ago
1982-favorite of the bunch. Old Bordeaux is a pleasure. Some great fruit left on it. — 4 years ago
Tasted blind. Scarlet tawny color, opaque with thin rims. Nice nose with notes of red fruit, cedar desk, dusty earth, mocha, leather saddle and some spices. Good structure with softened but present tannins. Has a nice richness to it. Guessed 86 Cos. This is better than most previous samples I’ve had of this. — a month ago
