  August 15, 2022 - Pronounced and aromatic of leather, toast, earth, cooked black fruits, rather sweet on the palate. Medium acidity and medium tannin. Its probably the best value for money for vintage 1982

  December 2, 2020 - Still some relative freshness here. Based on color I’d put this at no older than 20 years. Some dried/stewed red fruit, dried rose and violet, tea, sous bois. Spectacular aromatic intensity. Still has plenty of grip and acidity. Durand got the cork out just fine. Basket decanted and back to the bottle. Long live the ‘82s!

  November 20, 2020 - Completely turbid and bricked over. Aldehydic and maderized nose of chocolate and raisin. Cork was actively seeping when pulled. 1 bottle left, looks in good condition.

  February 24, 2017 - I don't know, may be blind here. Again, funk blew off and seemed like a "subtle, elegant" bordeaux. May be a bit acidic, but overall nice. Wife liked it, and she's very quick to declare a wine bad, so must have been ok.
