Château Gruaud-Larose--Vintage 1982
6 magnums per lot
Château Gruaud-Larose--Vintage 1982 Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé Two slightly damaged capsules and two with corks slightly depressed. Bin-soiled and slightly stained labels, all with minor damage. Levels base of neck or better. In original wooden case 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.
