June 2009
Lying in a private cellar duty free in Paris, France
1 Jeroboam (5 litres) in original wooden case
Tasting Note: “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 nuances as
cedar and spice box. The crème de cassis, underlying floral
note, full-bodied power, extraordinary purity, multilayered
texture, and finish of over a minute are a showcase
for what this Château accomplished in 1982. The wine is
still amazingly youthful, vibrant and pure. It appears
capable of remaining fruity and vibrant in 2082! Thank
God it is beginning to budge, as I would like to drink most
of my supply before I kick the bucket. This is a great, still
youthful wine, and, on occasion, one does understand the
hierarchy of Bordeaux châteaux when you see the
complexity and brilliance of this first-growth. Anticipated
maturity 2015-2050+.”
