Scarlet tawny and opaque. Great, complex nose offering notes of black cherries, herbal tobacco leaf and freshly cut Cuban cigar, cedar wood and a hint of menthol. Nicely balanced in the mouth. Gave it 5 hours of air in a decanter and patience was rewarded with a great aged Bordeaux experience. Great stuff. Paired with a 92 Dominus it was interesting to find how much these wines resemble each other.

A little cloudy and muted with a dry and brittle cork I don’t think it was stored perfectly .

Really in a good place. Lots of complexity, fine grained tannins, earth & saddle leather. Best vintage of GL that I've had.

Drinking exactly like it should. This wine absolutely transported me. Vibrant deep red in color with lovely notes of cedar coffee dried fruits and peanut membrane. Excellent throughout silky texture and long finish. This line should continue to drink well for at least another two decades

Always loved this '82, this isn't the best bottle though, has a slight caramelness to it, still a solid wine but didn't live up to expectations.

Richly textured palate. Nose isn't there though. Long, textured, and powerful.

Decanted with 3 hrs of air. Tawny rims with still some ruby in the middle. Barely opaque. Nose of rhubarb, cedar box, dark berries, anise. Rich and round in the mouth. Tannins perfectly integrated. Long lasting finish. This is in a great drinking window but no need to rush to drink these.

Compromised in some fashion but still an interesting study. Bretty but possibly a characteristic of the house.
