Decanted for about 90 minutes prior to serving. Dark garnet showing no signs of maturity on the rim. The bouquet was berries and dark fruit with a hint of secondary notes. The wine was medium/full bodied, rich and round. Lovely silky mouth feel with excellent balance. Drinking beautifully now and should drink well for many years.

Leather, forest floor, a little cigar box, smidge of brett, mint and sweet spice, blackcurrant & brambles are both beginning to dry out a little, tiny touch of lavender. Fleshy and juicy in the mouth, brambly and blackcurrant fruit, tannins integrated and powdery, textured long, finishes savoury with hints of liquorice. Beautifully balanced. Yum.

(68$ à la LCBO en 2006) Ouverte et servie sans carafe.
Quel beau Médoc! Un idéal d’équilibre et de buvabilité.
Le nez porte encore une discrète odeur de chêne/vanille, mais c’est charmeur et le fruit a le dessus. En bouche, c’est plutôt rond et juteux pour un bordeaux, avec un coté dodu venant d’un beau millésime mûr, aux tanins soyeux. Un beau fruit, du cassis, des nuances de crayon à mine, avec une finale longue et précise, aux accents salins. Rien d’austère ici, que du charme et de la fraîcheur, Du très bel ouvrage et une magnifique aubaine.
Je critiquais récemment certains vins qu’on garde 10-15 ans pour retrouver au final un banal vin de semaine. Celui-ci, au contraire, est l’exemple parfait de la patience récompensée. Comme trouver un trésor enfoui, au bout d'un long chemin.
Pour avoir gouté un 1982 encore magnifique à 32 ans d’âge, je n’ai pas de doute que celui-ci se maintiendra à un haut niveau jusqu’en 2035 et au delà. Il entame à peine son plateau de maturité et pourrait encore s’améliorer sur la prochaine décennie. Mais aucune raison de s'en priver dès maintenant. 93 pts

Primär: Johannesbeere, Sauerkirsche
Tertiär: Leder, Dunkle Schokolade, Zedernholz, nasser Tabak
Tannine: leichte Tannine im mittleren Bereich der Zunge
Umami: sehr elegant, etwas zu wenig für meinen Geschmack
Ein toller Wein, nicht kräftig genug für meinen Geschmack, passt gut zu Wild

Beginning to open, but the best drinking lies ahead. Bordeaux, particularly in the great vintages, needs time.
