This wine remains one of the legends of Bordeaux..The creme de cassis, underlying floral note, full-bodied power, extraordinary purity, multilayered texture & finish of over a minute are a showcase for what this Chateau accomplished in 1982
...toasted oak, light vanilla, and dark berries such as currants and blueberries. Then it turns to mint...so fresh and intensely fruity. It lasts for minutes on your palate with each sip...so powerful yet elegant.
...sensational nose of crème de cassis, lead pencil shaving, sweet tobacco, and even some flowery incense, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a multidimensional, layered texture, straight-up awesome levels of sweet fruit, and a blockbuster finish.
Glorious aromas. Dark ruby red. Wonderful perfumes of flowers, berry and lilac. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long and pretty finish. Balanced. Class in a glass.
...beautifully refined with melted red fruit, red plum and wild strawberry, tobacco and freshly picked mint. Hints of black truffle... The palate has mellowed...
Wonderfully silky and opulent, with utterly compelling inner-mouth perfume and chewy depth. Showing spectacularly today and hiding its rock-solid underlying structure. The great finish shows extraordinary aromatic complexity and subtlety..
Magnificent, the higher than normal percentage (80%) of Cabernet Sauvignon very noticeable. Exactly two dozen notes from 1985 and not a dud among them.
