I’m not sure how to score this .Found these bottles in the depths of cellar . I assumed all bottles would be , well , not great but was really surprised that still had some classic Chardonnay taste and was drinkable . 9 bottles left ! Curious to see if any others are still alive !!

Tastes really well amd clearly a superior wine which hits immediately. Medium colour , ruby hue , decent clarity . Moderate aromas . Senses touched by blackberry , tobacco and a hint of lavender . Good balance with moderate intensity . Odd one of 7 I have so hopefully rest are as good . There are better 82s out there I’m sure but this really didn’t disappoint . Not sure it feels end of life , some longevity yet !! 2 hr single decant

Purplish / ruby . Blackcurrant , cassis . Fresh acidity , high dry tannins . Spicy , medium finish . Balanced wine may have needed a decent decant , which I didn’t do .
