Friday, November 6, 2015 - The Super Platinum Tasting - Highest Rated 1982 - 1990 Left Bank Bordeaux (Platinum Tasting Group): Tasted single blind in a flight of 100 point Parker wines, all 1982-1990 Left Bank Bordeaux.
This was a nice change from a corked bottle we had last year. This wine was clearly the most youthful of the flight. It had lots of oak on the nose, but still an incredible amount of fruit, really shining through, with dark blackberry and raspberry. The terroir was really there, as for me it was clearly a Pauillac with such masculinity, pencil lead, austerity, and spicy oak. The youth showed through on the palate with some really nice tannic grip along with a lot of black fruit and oak. I enjoyed the structure on this wine but others felt it too tannic. The finish was long and dry and the power and alcohol was present in a good way.
My #5, the group's #8
