Château Gruaud-Larose--Vintage 1982
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Levels: both lots bottom neck or better; heavily damp stained and partially faded labels
Parcel: lots 43-44
"An extraordinarily powerful, backward wine with unlimited up-side 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 tannin levels, a grilled steak-like flavor, and a huge, intense finish, this is a monster, blockbuster 1982 that still needs 5-7 years of cellaring. 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, Wine Advocate Issue 129, June 2000
