| 1982 Chateau Gruaud Larose Saint-Julien, Bordeaux, France WB Rating: 90 Alcohol by volume: 12.5% Price at time of purchase: $32.00 (Library wine) Type: Cabernet / Bordeaux Principal varietal(s): Bordeaux blend A legendary wine and certainly great at this tasting, but to me not as compelling as the 1986 tasted a few years ago. Maybe this one is starting to show a little age? Still, amazingly deep color, full body, super-ripe, almost prune-like fruit framed by lots of cedar, herbs, and a touch of mint. Very ripe-feeling in the mouth, but soft and open, lacking the vibrancy it undoubtedly showed a few years ago. - HK 2004-03-29 [Back] |
