[SOLD-OUT] Chateau Gruaud Larose St Julien 1982

Robert Parker 98 Points!
Jancis Robinson 18.5/20!
"A massive wine that is clearly of first-growth quality in this vintage, the 1982 Gruaud Larose remains a youngster. A broodingly dense, thick, unctuously textured, inky/plum/garnet/purple color offers up scents of beef blood, steak tartare, cassis, herbs, tobacco, and underbrush. One of the most concentrated wines of the vintage (as well as one of the most concentrated Bordeaux's I have ever tasted), it is a huge, full-bodied, weighty, rich wine whose tannins are getting silkier and silkier. It appears set for another 30-40 years of life. This behemoth is a singularly profound example of Gruaud Larose that continues to justify its legendary status. Anticipated maturity: now-2050."
Robert Parker, Jun 2009


"Healthy ruby. Lovely gamey, gorgeous nose. Very fascinating with lots of layers already. Sumptuous. Still lots of unresolved tannins there. Extremely youthful - much more so on the palate than the nose."
