Château Gruaud-Larose--Vintage 1982
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé. Château-bottled
Lot 186 has lightly bin-soiled labels, two slightly torn. Levels: lot 186 four base of neck or better, one very top and one upper/top-shoulder, lot 187 base of neck or better and lot 188 twenty base of neck and four top-shoulder
Tasting note: An extraordinarily powerful, backward wine with unlimited up-side potential, the opaque plum/purple/black-colored 1982 Gruaud-Larose exhibits an explosive nose of new saddle leather, plums, prunes, black cherry jam, chocolate, steak tartare, and roasted espresso. Unbelievably powerful, thick, and intense, with full body, mouth-searing tannin levels, a grilled steak-like flavor, and a huge, intense finish, this is a monster, blockbuster 1982 that still needs 5-7 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2030. It should prove to be one of the most profound Gruaud-Laroses made in the twentieth century. In quality, it is a first-growth. 96 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #'129, June 2000
