Introduction
7 Bordeaux from the 1982 Vintage Tasted.
Flight 1 - Great opportunity to taste 1982 Bordeaux. (7 Notes)
My scores and group were different because I felt several pours were slightly old and tired.
Closing
Chateau Cheval Blanc and Chateau Lynch Bages were my favorites.
1982 Château Cheval Blanc 93 Points

Slow to open, bigger wine than most tonight, nice, pleasant, forward fruit on the palate, with a backbone, nice, long finish, needs 3 years to peak, well balanced. My #1 and Group #1.
