Introduction
1982 Bordeaux - a two day event in Bremen, Germany with bottles from a perfect cellar.
Flight 1 - First Evening, Aperitif (1 Note)
Flight 2 - First Evening, Table Wine (2 Notes)
1982 Diamond Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill 94 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley, Diamond Mountain
(11/5/2010)
From imperial. Here goes one of five imperials bottled in this vintage ... Initially thought this was corked or flawed, but as it opened up, this gave way to all sorts of rustic aromas, intertwined with fruit and old tannins. Very very interesting and a great but not easy wine.
