Fargesterk. Mørk rød. Orange i kantene.
Lukt domineres av mørke solbær. Uventet frisk i forhold til aleren.
Mørke godt modne solbær på smak. Godt med moden bløt frukt. Lite tanniner. Velbalansert. Ikke så fremtredende syre.
Har klart alderen meget bra, tror det hadde holdt en del år til. Hadde forventet litt mer kompleksitet på en så gammel vin. (600 views) | | | Tasted by vinero on 7/7/2023 & rated 89 points: Still in good shape, but the best years lie clearly behind….. (1237 views) | | | Tasted by MC2 Wines on 3/10/2023: 2023 Napa in the City: Gala Dinner (The Pool in NYC): Drinking really nicely. All old leather and very secondary but with that classiness and verve that comes from the 82 vintage. Enjoyable. (1965 views) | | | Tasted by etyc on 1/18/2023: This had the most development, with dry leaves, undergrowth, wet-earth scents rising from the glass with a short swirl... Herbs, more earth on the palate, but it just couldn't hold for long - went downhill after 20+ mins or so. Nice drink, but don't hold too long in the glass... (1914 views) | | | Tasted by 2 Utes on 12/31/2022 & rated 97 points: Paired with moose French onion soup. Paired great. Wine was awesome Life left but tasting great with a triple Parker decant method. Awesome. (1722 views) | | | Tasted by MS86 on 10/6/2022 & rated 88 points: From a widely celebrated vintage often called the best since 1961. This wine is at full maturity. Clear, medium rust with heavy bricking.
Nose is subtle and tertiary with notes of wet soil, garrigue and hints of dusty black cherry and smoked meat.
The palate shows a powerful wine with depth and balance. Tannins remain firm - one could only imagine what it was like to drink this powerhouse in its youth.
Flavours are very mature with earth, miso, worn leather and herbs.
Drink now. (1807 views) | | | Tasted by lion@corewines.com on 11/26/2020 & rated 94 points: Perfect bottle. Typical fruit concentration for the vintage. Long finish. Great juice, positively surprised. (4135 views) | | | Tasted by Xavier Auerbach on 11/19/2020 & rated 92 points: A private dinner with friends (Waver, Ouder-Amstel, NL): Level into neck. Relatively slender, not as rich as I would have expected from a 1982, but it is wonderfully fresh and appetising and perfectly true to type.

#NYCGroup#Anarki (4810 views) | | | Tasted by RayOB on 8/15/2019 & rated 91 points: Drank at 67
On first opening quite faded but after a couple of hours in the air it developed nicely. Drink up (4319 views) | | | Tasted by Jeff Leve on 10/5/2018 & rated 84 points: Rustic, lean, medium-bodied and four-square, the wine is taking on an acidic, hard, angular character and will continue in that direction, losing more fruit as time marches on. This does not resemble the stunning wines made at the property today. (5993 views) | | | Tasted by vinero on 7/5/2018 & rated 92 points: Farewell dinner with french family. Drank together with a beef filet. In the glass still dark purple with only a touch of brown. Limited nose. The wine itself is nicely in balance with elegant strain of blackcurrant and liquorace. Finish still a bit tannic. Matched perfectly with the filet. Overall great experience, wine appearing younger than expected and will keep nicely in the next years. (3265 views) | | | Tasted by Zweder on 3/16/2018 flawed bottle: Occasional dinner group: Bordeaux 1982 (@ Treeswijkhoeve, Waalre, Netherlands): No doubt about it; heavily corked. On the palate the tannin was quite drying. (4565 views) | | | Tasted by jkoenen on 3/16/2018 flawed bottle: Bordeaux 1982 (Treeswijkhoeve Restaurant @ Waalre, Holland): Heavily corked... (3148 views) | | | Tasted by pinotwok on 11/11/2017 & rated 92 points: Hat mich positiv überrascht. Natürlich mit 35 Jahren schon im tertiären Bereich mit ganz viel Waldboden, Pilzen und Kräutern, aber auch noch Zeder, Tabak, Orangenzesten und sogar etwas Cassis. Am Gaumen noch erstaunlich frisch, feine Säure, schöne Frucht mit generöser Süße und sogar noch merklichem Tannin. Trinkt sich großartig, ein kompletter Wein mit gerade mal 12%. Austrinken. (3579 views) | | | Tasted by mr_swirl on 10/31/2017 & rated 90 points: Nice surprise, after a classic cedar earthy nose but quite short on the palate it opened up slowly and revealed a more sous-bois complexity on the nose and on the palate longer linger with earthy tannins and jammy fruits (1201 views) | | | Tasted by vinhonotte on 4/23/2017 & rated 90 points: Cellaraid Pop-up @ Artbox Singapore; 4/14/2017-4/23/2017 (Bayfront Event Space, Marina Bay Sands): clear, deep ruby; pronounced nose of bricks, tar, grass, minerals, leather, chinese herbs; dry, medium acid, tannic, full body, blackberry, pencil shavings, brick, smoked meats, mushroom, leather, tar; I'd think it's past it's best, given the low level of fruits, but still quite pleasant (4408 views) | | | Tasted by steinersing on 10/11/2016 & rated 91 points: light and soft, enjoyable (5113 views) | | | Tasted by Collector1855 on 7/28/2016 & rated 92 points: Medium-dark brick. Nose of nuts, earth, sherry and tobacco, not unlike an aged top Rioja from Tondonia. I think this says it all, the tilt towards oxidative notes shows that the drinking window is coming to an end. Still enjoyable today but past peak. (5236 views) | | | Tasted by Rani on 6/16/2016 & rated 93 points: Tasted blind side by side with a 1982 Leoville Barton. The two were very different but both very good. This was earthy, with lots of cigar tobacco and quite ripe yet not overdone. I liked the Leoville a bit more but this showed very well, if somewhat less complex. (5104 views) | | | Tasted by Papies on 3/26/2016 flawed bottle: A bad mix of Badly corked and oxidisation. Shame ... (5057 views) | | | Tasted by capacious on 11/21/2015 & rated 91 points: Still more on the dark and purple side, with little bricking. Not really willing to give of itself, somewhat tight knit, and dense. Yes, clear signs of secondary, and enjoyed, and It didn't seem like this had probably been better before- But the sense was- seems like there should be a bit more to this. (4835 views) | | | Tasted by portman63 on 9/8/2015 & rated 95 points: This is what I expect of a really good aged Bordeaux. Still has a good deep garnet color and immediate cassis and some tobacco on the nose. Tannins are so soft now. It still had good acidity to keep it on balance. Had it over several hours and never felt like I had to hurry before it died. Lost a little fruit after 3+ hours, but still a great showing. Is probably not improving any further, but this bottle fill/cork was in great shape so it held up well. To me this (12% alc) is more enjoyable than the current huge versions of recent years. (4011 views) | | | Tasted by bacchus on 5/10/2014 & rated 90 points: brought to dinner by keith. served at selkirk manor. shared with keith, jean and pat. we have had this wine 3 times before from keith's cellar. it has shown ups and downs over the years. the last bottle we had on 8/2013 showed exceptionally well. tonight's wine was enjoyable but not very exciting. unfortunately it was overshadowed by the 1982 chateau meyney that preceded it. the wine continues to be remarkably youthful and not the least bit tired. yet, it stilll needed some coaxing to get the nose going. nice dark fruit. perhaps it needed a decant or more air as it improved somewhat in the glass. historians say that this was a difficult period for the producer. more recent vintages have garnered very favorable reviews. (6339 views) | | | Tasted by Vinophiliac559 on 12/8/2013 & rated 92 points: Brick red. An old and classic Bordeaux. Very similar to the 1982 croizet bages pulliac. Good character, subtle cassis, leather and dirt with lots of mushrooms.Mellow and rich mouth feel.

| Château Pontet-Canet Producer website – Read more about Chateau Pontet CanetRed Bordeaux BlendRed Bordeaux is generally made from a blend of grapes. Permitted grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and rarely Carménère.Today Carménère is rarely used, with Château Clerc Milon, a fifth growth Bordeaux, being one of the few to still retain Carménère vines. As of July 2019, Bordeaux wineries authorized the use of four new red grapes to combat temperature increases in Bordeaux. These newly approved grapes are Marselan, Touriga Nacional, Castets, and Arinarnoa.
Wineries all over the world aspire to making wines in a Bordeaux style. In 1988, a group of American vintners formed The Meritage Association to identify wines made in this way. Although most Meritage wines come from California, there are members of the Meritage Association in 18 states and five other countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Israel, and Mexico.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

History of Bordeaux
History of 1855 Bordeaux Classification
"2009 is all about ripeness, with wines impressively packed with ripe fruit and high alcohol levels. They are showy, in-your-face, and full of pleasure. The 2010s have the fruit and alcohol levels of the 2009s, but with a compelling freshness on the finish that balances the fruit and provides a perfect sense of structure." - Ben Nelson
"2016 is a landmark vintage in certain spots of Bordeaux and it should be remembered as one of the most inspired campaigns of the last 40-50+ years." -Jon Rimmerman
"The quality of red Bordeaux in 2016 was universally lauded – although the response to the en primeur campaign was muted. Quantity was high too, with the equivalent of 770 million bottles of wine produced. An exceptionally dry summer with cool nights eventually, thanks to mid September rain, resulted in small, thick-skinned, ripe grapes, and the wines are marked by high tannin and acidity, with superb aromatic fragrance." - Jancis Robinson
"2017 was complicated, but there are some excellent wines. Expect plenty of freshness and drinkability from wines that will offer excellent value, and others that will rival 2016 in terms of ripeness and ageability. But they are likely to be the exception not the rule, making careful selection key." - Jane Anson
"In the past, a vintage such as 2022 may have been overripe, raisined and low in acidity but 2022 had a sneaky little reservoir in its back pocket - a near perfect marriage of cool/cold/rain the previous winter and the previous vintage that literally soaked the soils (a key to why 2022 is not 2003...or 1893)." - Jon RimmermanMédoc Vins du Médoc (Conseil des Vins du Médoc) - Read More about the Medoc

The eight precisely defined appellations of the whole of the Médoc (from Blanquefort Brook to the north of the Bordeaux built-up area, almost to the Pointe de Grave) may claim the Médoc appellation. But there is also a specific territory in the north of the peninsula which produces exclusively wines with this appellation. In the great majority, the Médocs come from the north of the peninsula. The great individuality of this region is that the number of vines has increased more recently here than elsewhere, apart from a few isolated spots where vines have grown for many years. Today, the size of the small estate has brought about the development of a powerful co-operative movement. Four co-operatives out of five belong to the group called Unimédoc which ensures aging, bottling and marketing a large proportion of their wines.Pauillac Read more detailed information about Pauillac Looking full onto the river from the earliest days, with an important port activity, traces of which go back to ancient times (shipment of bronze as long ago as 2000 B.C.), Pauillac's life has always been intimately linked to the history of wine. Although port activities were at the root of its prosperity, Pauillac had to wait until the eighteenth century when Bordeaux ceased to hold its privileged position to become a wine port. The town then became the natural outlet for the wine production of neighbouring cantons before reaching its zenith in a period when the vineyards were exceptionally prosperous.
The characteristic of the Pauillac terroir is its exceptional relief: the many undulating ridges make it unique morphologically speaking. Highly favourable conditions facilitate the dissection of the layer of gravel. This thin, Garonne gravel from whose very poverty springs great richness, has an extremely effective natural drainage.
With their velvet red colour with a hint of amber, the wines from the Pauillac appellation, full-bodied and rich in tannin, are vigorous. Powerful when young, their aromas of red fruits (black-currant, raspberry) or flowers (violets, roses, irises) melt with the passing of time into a bouquet which is long in the mouth.
Rich and complex, the wines of Pauillac deserve to be laid down for a little longer.
Production conditions (Decree dated November 14, 1936)
In order to have the right to the Pauillac appellation of controlled origin, red wines must:
- come from the commune of Pauillac and from precisely defined parcels in the communes of Cissac, Saint-Julien, Saint-Estèphe and Saint-Sauveur, "excluding the parcels situated on recent alluvium and sand on impermeable subsoils",
- satisfy precise production conditions : grape-varieties (Cabernet-Sauvignon, Cabernet-Franc, Carmenère, Merlot Noir, Petit Verdot, Cot or Malbec), minimum of sugar (178 grammes - 6.27 oz. - per litre of must) degree (an acquired 10°5) base yield (45 hectolitres per hectare). |
