Pétrus--Vintage 1982
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Four slightly damaged capsules. Very good labels, all with very slight creasing at the edges and five slightly damaged. Levels into neck. In original wooden case
Tasting Note: Picked in one day by a large team at the end of a very hot harvest. My highest marks in the early to mid-1990s: rich, velvety, fleshy, 'a velvet-lined mouthfiller'. Fully evolved but with all the components to warrant a long life. Most recently, still deep and richly coloured; bouquet harmonious and complacent; full, rich, certainly impressive but if one is to be overcritical, a bit obvious and lacking the zest and drama of the top Médocs. But this will not deter the world's richest. Last tasted October 2000 ***** M.B.
