1982

Belair 1982 (750ML)

Branaire Ducru 1982 (750ML)

93 RP A strong effort for this estate, the 1982 exhibits sweet aromas of plums, licorice, earth, and flowers. The tannins are slightly rustic, but the sweetness of the fruit, the broad expansive mouthfeel, and the...

Cheval Blanc 1982 (750ML)

100 RPThis wine has proven to be one of Bordeaux's modern day legends. Absolutely spectacular for its first 7-8 years after bottling, the wine has gradually begun to reveal more delineation, structure, and tannin. In 1995,...

Cos D'Estournel 1982 (1.5L)

Grand Puy Lacoste 1982 (6.0L)

Latour 1982 (1.5L)

100 RP / 100 VM Always somewhat atypical (which I suspect will be the case with the more modern day 2003), the 1982 Latour has been the most opulent, flamboyant, and precocious of the northern Medocs, especially the St...

Leoville Barton 1982 (6.0L)

92 RP This traditionally made, old style, extremely dense, powerful wine requires another 7-10 years of cellaring. An opaque dark garnet color is followed by aromas of sweet cedar, old wood, truffles, smoke, and underbrush...

Leoville Las Cases 1982 (750ML)

100 RP / 99 JD Still stubbornly backward, yet beginning to budge from its pre-adolescent stage, this dense, murky ruby/purple-colored wine offers up notes of graphite, sweet caramel, black cherry jam, cassis, and minerals...

Leoville Poyferre 1982 (750ML)

95 RP There is no question that Leoville Poyferre was not making wines at the level of quality they have since 1990. That said, the 1982 is a great wine, no doubt because of the vintage rather than the winemaking at that...

Mouton Rothschild 1982 (6.0L)

100 RP / 100 JS This wine remains one of the legends of Bordeaux. It has thrown off the backward, youthful style that existed during its first 25 years of life, and over the last 4-5 years has developed such secondary...

Trotanoy 1982 (750ML)

100 RP "Lastly, the fully mature 1982 Trotanoy started with wonderful, sweet berry fruit, dusty loamy soil undertones, a hint of truffle and blackcurrants. Round, juicy, full-bodied and opulent, this wine is not likely to...
