Cos d’Estournel 1982, St-Estèphe (L)
“This wine is a lovely example of the potential and longevity of the 1982 vintage below the first growth level. Although it shows mature notes of cedar, smoke, and spice, this wine is still youthful and vigorous. The texture is firm yet silky – the tannins are resolved, yet there is still an impression of substance and impressive length here. Although it is mature now, this should easily hold another five to 10 years.” Tasted September 2, 2022 96 pts, Decanter 304562 1 bottle limit $1,500 Château Durfort-Vivens 1982, Margaux (L) “The 1982 must be among the most seductive wines this estate has recently made. It boasts a big, lovely, ripe, rich, black currant bouquet, deep, supple, concentrated flavors, a long finish, and adequate tannin for another 5-8 years of cellaring. The 1982 marked a dramatic turnabout in the quality of this estate’s wines. Anticipated maturity: Now-2000. Last tasted, 1/90.” Tasted December 31, 1997 87 pts, Wine Advocate 304553 1 bottle limit $2,000
