Pauillac, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Ready to go and showing no signs of distress. If anything, it's still a bit compact, given the age and classification.

Like a quiet song sung by muscular Angels. All the goods here: Leather saddle, cigar, pencil, darker fruit, and fine but present tannin. Yet quiet. Like a whisper of the other side.

Cigar box, black currants, cassis, lovely, somewhat mature fruit, still shows a somewhat firm structure, seems close to fully mature, very long finish, but I’d bet will still hold another decade in a cool cellar, one of the great bargains of the 1982 vintage on release!!

Bang on the spot where you expect it. Very satisfying and easy to drink. Classic old Bordeaux...

Still fresh and young looking and tasting. Elegant fruit with a a hint of chalk. Tasted much younger that Ducru Beaucaillou from same year.
