Intense aromas of kirsch, currant & spice follow through to a full-bodied palate, with round, velvety tannins & a long, long finish. This is complex, changing on the nose and palate. Layered & structured. Will improve for many years to come
Gorgeous, round & velvety textured yet with very convincing freshness. This was a stunning bottle. True. Great combination of St-Estèphe rigour & 1982's richness. Not heavy. Tasting it was like a brush on the cheek with a feather. Lovely!
... Sweet kirsch, black currant, crushed rock, and floral notes are followed by a full-bodied, opulent, fleshy wine displaying no hard edges. It still possesses beautifully pure fruit...
...harmonious, excellent flavour...a long haul wine...
