    March 24, 2024 - The first bottle of this was shot, so decided to cut my losses and open a second. Thankfully, this bottle was healthy. Interestingly, as with a lot of older wines, this does need half an hour in the decanter to blow off its rougher edges. It is a revelation, how, in a great vintage, even the most lowly estates can produce great wines. It is tertiary, with a sensuous nose that is its best feature. The St. Estephes were the weaker of the left bank wines in 1982, and this is no exception, and shows a leanness on the palate and finish. A post script a couple of hours later. This improved considerably with time in the decanter, with the wine developing a roundness on the mouth, and losing its anguarity. 93+

    November 10, 2023 - Très belle surprise que ce haut Marbuzet 1982. Les tannins sont fondus, mais le vin reste bien équilibré, avec une texture soyeuse, un milieu de bouche encore présent et une finale pleine de charme. Merci les fameuses argiles bleus… Du bonheur embouteillé il y a plus de 40 ans et qui se diffuse maintenant !

    January 8, 2022 - Strawberry, pepper, sweet tobacco, underbrush, smoke on the nose. The palate has this incredible mouthfeel that is typical of 82, very voluptous and silky, a real hedonistic pleasure!
    Gorgeous wine. Drink now.

    December 23, 2020 - Found this to be at the top of its game - perfectly balanced, tanins great for an older wine. Lost a bit of fruit, but overall excellent flavors. Served for a table of four with several other very good wines of the early 80s and it was every ones favorite.
