Château Gruaud-Larose--Vintage 1982
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
One soiled label and two with signs of seepage
"Another extraordinarily powerful, backward wine with unlimited upside potential, the opaque plum/purple/black-colored 1982 Gruaud-Larose exhibits an explosive nose of new saddle leather, plums, prunes, black cherry jam, chocolate, steak tartare, and roasted espresso. Unbelievably powerful, thick, and intense, with full body, mouth-searing tanning levels, a grilled steak-like flavor, and a huge, intense finish, this is a monster, blockbuster 1982...It should prove to be one of the most profound Gruaud-Laroses made in the twentieth century. In quality, it is a first-growth." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Issue 129, 6/26/00
