This served as the replacement for a 1978 Petras that was corked for our 2022 Christmas dinner at Westdale cooked by Simon and Lana ...rack of lamb...for just the 4 of us. This was the Christmas Eve was recovering slowly from her broken femur at the hip she suffered in Nov at Disney. Simon and Lana cooking was a wonderful helpful and much appreciated gift. This wine was perfect in color and structure. It tasted hard when opened so I suspected it would have a long life. Upon checking critics suggest to drink it between 2019 and 2075!!!! I wish! Despite the overall 1982s being considered very drinkable early this should be considered in a decade! Hopefully that hardness will be unlike many of the 1975s which never really lost that quality.

Was to have been served at our 2022 Christmas dinner with Simon and Lana at Westdale. They were cooking us dinner to help us during Eves recovery from a broken femur at the hip. IT WAS TOTALLY CORKED...literally. The cork stank!! Replaced this choice with a 1982 Pichon Lalonde
