RATINGS

96Wine Spectator

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

19Jancis Robinson

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!

92Robert M. Parker Jr.

... 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...

***/**Michael Broadbent

...harmonious, excellent flavour...a long haul wine...

REGION

France, Bordeaux, St.-Estephe

Saint-Estèphe is in the northern Médoc, on the left bank of the Gironde River. Although it has no First Growth estates, its five Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Growth châteaux are notable, and, in recent decades, have become favorites with reviewers and consumers. Some reviewers also note that the appellation is today making excellent Cru Bourgeois wines, which frequently offer good value. There are 3,404 acres of vineyards and a variety of soil types, from gravelly soil to soil with significant sand or clay. The two Second Growth Châteaux in St.-Estephe are Cos d’Estournel and Montrose. The Third Growth Calon-Ségur is widely admired. The principal grapes grown are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
