Château Gruaud-Larose 1982
12 magnums per lot
Château Gruaud-Larose 1982 Saint-Julien, 2ème cru classé Not in original wooden cases. Lot 550 slightly bin-soiled labels, lot 551 bin-soiled labels, two damaged. Levels base of neck or better Tasting note: 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 colour 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.
