This was my first '82 Pauillac. I know, not a big brand... but wow. This was thoroughly enjoyable. Round, supple, luscious, and with a hint of mint are some of the descriptions that come to mind for me. It's nice on the nose and palate, but better on the palate. It's just not as fragrant as some wines I've had, where I just want to crawl inside the glass and sniff for a few hours. lol. I would not hesitate to buy this again at auction on Winebid. Looking forward to my next, random '82 Pauillac!

Ruby red, but turning a little brown at tht edges. Moderately opaque. Not that much on the nose- some asian spice, a hint of pepper, and some cedar. The palate shows a ton of cedar, some ripe fruit, leather, and cranberries. There is a slightly astringent finish. It's a nice wine, but definitely at the end of its life. My wife called it "too brown". She's probably right.
