Château Margaux

Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1982

1982 vintage. Cinnamon and baked cherry nose with specks of pepper; eucalyptus aura shimmering. Rye bread with plum reduction, dusty cedar, dehydrated blackberry, broiled blueberry, reflective graphite glimmers, toasted wheat, holly leaf. Baked bing and raspberry with dried plum skin; black currant reduction with all kinds of legs. Sage and dandelion leaf, dried black mushroom, bitter blueberry, graphite gravy, and a side of pomegranate. So fun to taste this legendary vintage. Seems to be in the perfect place now.

Trésor de Cave Brut Champagne Blend 1982

Evolved but didn't have depth one would have expected given their other vintage champagne. #1982 — 9 years ago

1982, still young at opening and a bit of sour remains. Smell of oak and grass.

Wynns Coonawarra Estate

Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 1982

Well if the 82 Bordeaux are proving amazing so is this Wynns 82; like it's cousins in the Medoc; very cabernet dominant; winemaker at the time John Wade, now a WA resident; had his first go at small barrique winemaking; now more cleverly used by Sue Hodder; current winemaker; this 13% wine still has the black fruit of correctly ripe cabernet; and the tannin draw and backbone which ticks my boxes; great drink from Coonawarra; wished more from that region show this way; the bar is set; 33 years later; #wynns #coonawarra #cabernet #1982 — 9 years ago

The John Riddoch from the same year was a stunner as well.

Agree; but more oakier than the black; double new oaking has made the Riddoch a trifle oily; whereas the black looks integrated.

Château Haut-Brion

Graves Red Bordeaux Blend 1982

This was pretty decent @burdigalanyc the other night, showed some glimmer of youth, with loads of complex tertiary. Excellent energy and all around pleasantry, showing it's pedigree in spades.
