A wine that punches way above its weight…wow! Stacked up side by side with an 82 Mouton, 82 Latour, and an 82 Lafite, I have to say this was barely edged out by the Lafite and Latour. The Lafite carried an elegance that continued to shine as time went on, but the reality is that we were splitting hairs and for the price differential, this is hands down the best wine by a mile. A truly impressive performance.

Super Bowl LVIII 2024 (Alpharetta, GA): Tasted double blind: I voted this my #2 WOTN. However, I thought it was my wine ('82 PLC) due to its maturity and evolution. This had a utterly delicious Pauillac nose with tobacco and cedar as the dominant aromas. It is a more complete and balanced wine in comparison to the next wine ('82 PLC). Best I've tasted from the '82 Lynch Bages bottling.

(Lynch Bages) This showed fantastically. Just pedal to the medal old-school Bordeaux love in a bottle. Great freshness and delineations. Loads of pencil lead, tobacco and wild flowers. Tremendous minerality and precision. Very well made wine.

Wonderful, classic Pauillac … black currant and graphite. Majestic … worth it.
