Enjoyed with 1982 Trotte Vieille, as per previous notes, plums, smoke, coffee, tobacco and the like but perhaps not as explosive as previous bottles. Finish the remaining bottles by 2028, 18.75.

San Sebastian September 2023 Into neck, from a perfect cellar, lovely old Pomerol, rather sweet, a lot of iron in the nose, guess from the Cabernet franc, extremly refined tannins, in a good spot, was better after 30-45 minutes. Drink 2023-2028

An amazing wine. Even though '82 is known to be one of the best BDX vintages, out of the 10 or so bottles i had in the past, none seem to have impressed me. Finally this one did.
Aged but not a hint of tiredness, fully integrated and good amount of freshness. Haunting and classic Pomerol nose which is distinctive despite being a 40+ year old wine. Drink up now, no reason to hold.

Splash decanted. Fully resolved but initially still quite vibrant. Deliciously smooth dark fruits with some nice acidity to keep it from being at all blowsy. Faded a bit with air and time in the glass.

Delicious but did fade as we finished (fruit gave way to licourice). Decant just before serving or let open in the glass. Plum and dark cherry with leather - relatively light bodied (re wine pairing). Drink up
