From imperial. Here goes one of five imperials bottled in this vintage ... Initially thought this was corked or flawed, but as it opened up, this gave way to all sorts of rustic aromas, intertwined with fruit and old tannins. Very very interesting and a great but not easy wine.

This was on its way out. Nose still fresh, on the palate chocolate, tobacco, earth, little fruit left.

A bit tired. Little tannin and less fruit, some green and astringent notes coming to the front.

Outstanding old style St. Emilion. Leather, wood, tobacco herbs, cool and restrained. A nice surprise. Other tasters liked this much less, though.

Earthy, meaty, almost metallic. Not a beauty, but still powerful.

A great surprise. This wine showed magnificently well. Dark fruit, sweet tobacco, earth, tasted like a bottle of Petit Cheval. The party was really split over this wine, though.

Green and thin. A complete failure.

From double magnum. Surprisingly, this showed slightly weaker than an ordinary bottle opened in the same flight. A bit more fat with the same cherry and tobacco notes, but not of the same complexity.

Sweet raisins, cherry, tannins almost gone. Others though that this was far beyond its best, but I still liked it.

Leather, plums, spices and herbs. A great L'Arrosée.

Poujeaux is always showing very well in tastings. This bottle of 1982 was no exception. Tobacco, vanilla, fruit and a dry but elegant finish.

Quite a disappointment given the wine's pedigree. Maybe we fell victim to the notorious bottle variance? Wet wood, mushrooms, green notes.

Licorice, spices, some green notes, but very elegant.

From Imperial. Chocolate, tobacco, herbs, forest floor, very youthful. Quite substantially better than from .75.

A very nice GPL that was rated even higher by most of the audience. Dark fruit, cassis, elegant and classic Pauillac nose.

Got better with time. Unbelievably complex, sweet with plums, red berries, spices. A surprising performance.

Thin and vegetal, unclean sandy notes. Some thought TCA, I thought this was just not a good wine.

Tannic and dry, needs more time and was a notch behind the other two Leovilles. Very old style.

Cassis, tobacco, cedar. Very sweet and elegant. Has a great future.

This held very well against Las Cases. Wood, tobacco, game, spices and cassis.

Somewhat green, lacking sweetness. An outstanding wine, but not what would have been possible in 82.

A very humbling wine and very moving. Mint, herbs, frankincense, plums, cherries, spices.

An excellent bottle, but even this exceptional bottle was obviously quite a few notches below Latour and Lafleur 82. Chocolate, ginger, smoke, earth, dark cherries.

Compared with the top 82, this appeared to be slightly tired and even bitter. Nevertheless an outstanding Conseillante with some cassis, herbs, mint.

Still tannic. Herbs, cassis, long. A moving bottle, and unexpectedly one of the best 1982s I tasted.

Great, but not extraordinary. Cedar, dried fruits, herbs, sweet but slightly dry finish. But one should not be allowed to complain.

Clearly a three digit score. Truffles, blackberry, smoke, raisins. Endless finish and lots of life left.

Had I not had the Lafleur and the Latour the same day, this would quite possibly have got a three digit score. A great wine with lots of cassis, opulent fruit, berries, nice acidity.

Leather, tobacco herbs. Slightly dry and short compared with the firsts.

A memorable evening with Latour and Lafleur clearly in command.
