Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste--Vintage 1982
Pauillac, 5me cru classé
Levels base of neck or better
Tasting Note: Once again masses of notes because I bought several cases for home drinking and entertaining. As always, enormously impressive in cask but a slow developer. I rather regret drinking mine too early. The few bottle I have left will probably see me out. The most recent notes made at tastings: crisp, taut, long term (Brussels 1996). The oldest vintage, a bottle from my own cellar at Grand-Puy-Lacoste vertical at Christie's masterclass (March 2000): showing well, impressively dense appearance; beautiful bouquet (though Daphne unkindly added to my notes 'like a dodgy Figeac's). Lots of fruit and flesh, but I have to admit drying before its full blossoming. At best **(**) M.B.
