After 34 years this was still a nice wine to enjoy ! Not a superlative super strong wine but it still had enough fruit and juice to carry through the night ! The nose was a very resolved old Bordeaux - leafy , earthy , truffulish just a bit of barnyard / it is a medium bodied wine with a rather thin palate but the nice savory mouth feel a smith tannins made up for that / thoroughly enjoyable and good qpr - no reason to wait , enjoy this while it's on this last leg plateau !

Nice wine, classic bordeaux nose, medium body at most. Fully mature but a plesant surprise- I thought it might be DOA. surely past peak and not for a Zin lover, but went well with my prime rib. Drink now

A private dinner with friends (Waver, Ouder-Amstel, NL): Level base of neck, very crumbly cork. Very tertiary aromas, objectively well past best, but there was some vigour left in this old seigneur.

In comparison to the 1981 the 1982 is a lot more complete. Full bodied, round and had some depth. In fact a very pleasant wine. Now at its peak.
