1982 Château Rauzan-Gassies
Community Tasting Note
Sean Tay Likes this wine:
93 Points
Thursday, April 2, 2020 - 1982 vintage always don't fail my expectation. The nose had a wet forest, slight wet cardboard, probably due to me not decanting the wine earlier and drank straight from the bottle. It had char, toast, cedar and black fruits. The taste was better than the nose, there was still acidity and tannins. Though the tannins had already integrated well. Still good to last 5 years or more.
