I will wait another few years as it's still too young for my taste. Dark fruit, minerals and a little spice. Drinkable now with a good 2 hour decant. Might surprise on the upside.

Drank this along side the 1991 La Tache. For me, the La Tache was the winner but both were exceptional bottles. I felt the Cros Prarantoux was fully mature and the La Tache was just entering it's drinking window. The Parantoux was earthier and had a little less spice.

Happy it wasn't premoxed! This was an excellent bottle. The nose was a little reserved in the beginning but opened up nicely in 15 minutes. A nice floral and lemon finish that lingered.

Has lots of potential but needs much more time. Give it another 5 years. After a 3 hour decant it was still to tight. Lovely nose but not yielding much on the palate.

Very disappointing showing. There seems to be a lot of variability in different bottles of 82 Lafite. Tasted against the 82 Latour which was outstanding and has been a very consistent performer.

I bought 2 OWCs of Latour but the Lafite I bought 6 bottles 10+ years ago from a reliable source. I have tasted 4 of the 6 bottles and the variability has been fairly significant. I have discussed with others and they report a similar variability.

Still a bit too young for my taste but a truly exceptional wine. Next time I will give a longer decant. Interestingly, I recently tasted this a against the 82 Lafite. I actually, liked the Lafite better. Last night tasted against the 82 Lafleur. All these are outstanding wines by any measure!
