Grand Cru Classé, Saint-Julien, 1982

 

Saint-Julien

Price on Application

750ml Bottle

Classic lead pencil, cassis, kirsch, cedar, and spice characteristics are abundant in both the nose and full-bodied flavours. The tannins are still there and this 1982 does not appear to have changed much in the last 10-12 years. One wonders how much patience admirers of this brilliant St.-Julien will continue to exhibit. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2050." Robert Parker, 100 Points
