1982

Beychevelle 1982 (750ML)

94 RP Beautifully sweet, slightly herbaceous black currant, licorice, and earthy notes emerge from this nearly opaque, dark ruby/purple-tinged 1982. Compared to the more elegant, feminine-styled wine often produced here, it...

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...

Latour 1982 (750ML)

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 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. The nose...

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...

Margaux 1982 (750ML)

98 RP / 98 VM / 97 JS Consistently scoring between 98-100, the superb 1982 Margaux may be slightly bigger, bolder, and more masculine than vintages produced over the last 15-20 years. Its dark plum/purple color is followed...

Mouton Rothschild 1982 (750ML)

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...
