Classic Pauillac estate and a tremendous example of '82 Bordeaux. Still with youthful color and pure black fruits on the nose. Black berries, cassis and rocky earth are all entrenched with firm but velvety tannins finishing this ace.. #KorpiStrikesAgain

Another outstanding bottle of 1982 GPL. Everything a Bordeaux should be - fully integrated tannins, tobacco, sous bois, leather yet still fresh fruit with the charm of 1980s Bordeaux. A real treat to open any 1982 Bordeaux and certainly GPL is one of my favorite values.

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.

1947 and 1982 Grand Puy Lacoste! 47 had huge fruit for its age but a little ripe and tawny; 82 hit on all strides with cedar, cassis, and dark berries

2015 is the perfect drinking window for this 1982 Fifth Growth. One of the best wines ever made at this Chateau. Tonight the aromatics were incredible, lavender, pencil lead, leather, dark fruit. On the palate, incredible balance and delicious dark berry fruit, elegant and long lived. 90 sec finish. Wow!
