1982 vintage. Decent fill. Opened with a Durand. Cork 95% saturated. Not decanted. Tasted 30 minutes, 1.25 hours and 2.5 hours after open/decant. Earthy, dirty. old-school St Émmie nose that rolled over into the flavors. Light-medium body. Intensity/concentration on point for the duration. Lean and fairly mean but not without a few winks and nudges along the paper route. Based on this 750ml specimen, this kid stays in the game another 3-4 years in this range. 4.17.26.

Yes, that's a roast chicken covered in Truffles in the background. Under appreciated wine, classic year, great but time to drink.
