1982 Red Bordeaux
One of the great vintages of the last century and, with the possible exceptions of Margaux and Graves, these are the most complex and profound wines produced since the classic 1961 vintage. The weather was beneficial to producers throughout the growing season but what made the vintage outstanding was the exceptionally warm weather that Bordeaux enjoyed in September, with average temperatures ranging between 29-40 degrees. This produced a huge crop of wines of exceptional richness and ripeness, with some wines possessing an almost Californian- like character.
The Merlot-based wines of Pomerol and St-Emilion are outstanding, with Pétrus producing one of it finest ever wines. In the Médoc, Pauillac and St-Julien were the most successful communes, with Mouton Rothschild and Latour being arguably the 2 finest wines. Most 82s are drinking well now, although the 1st Growths will benefit from further cellaring.

"Fullish colour. Just a little sign of maturity. Ample and classy on the nose. Rich and succulent. Lots of depth. A great deal of class here. Full-bodied, rich, ripe and concentrated. This is lovely. Fine plus." (Clive Coates - The Vine - Oct-2002) | ||||

It seems to me the 1989 is closer to the 1959, another perfect wine and one of the all-time great Haut Brions. While the 1982 is a beauty, it has never hit the highest notes this vintage or terroir can achieve. Complex aromatics of scorched earth, smoked herbs, and sweet red and black currants are ...

Superb weather conditions produced a great wine form a very large crop. The colour is still deep and youthful and the nose is almost baked or grilled as a consequence of the intense heat at vintage time. It is sweet and supple on the palate with fabulously ripe tannins, which will keep the wine ... MORE Parker Score: 95/100 | ||||

This wine is a Bordeaux legend and is one of the finest clarets ever produced. It has reached a plateau of perfection where it should remain for a further 20 years. A full-bodied wine with medium tannins offering decadent amounts of exotic, sweet, black fruits and mocha on the nose. | ||||

"...The dense, opaque garnet-colored 1982 Latour reveals slight amber at the edge. Sweet, smoky, roasted aromas in the nose combine with jammy levels of black currant, cherry, and prune-like fruit. It possesses extraordinary concentration and unctuosity, with a thick, fat texture oozing notes of ... MORE Parker Score: 100/100 | ||||
