Animal flavor. Leather. Still elegant and acidic. But when opening, cork stripped to inside of bottle. That means. 1982 @, Kai - JH, 190406-190601 — 7 years ago

Tasted blind. Reddish tawny, almost opaque. Big shoulders in the nose. Complex. Notes of briary brush, raspberry, hickory, pepper and tobacco leaf. Mellow in the mouth, especially when compared to the big nose. Sweeter fruit finish. Took some deductive time with my guess... 82 Margaux which freaked out my friend who brought the bottle. This is in a good place, not sure if it will improve with more age. But it’s in no danger of declining anytime soon. — 5 years ago
Really delicious. At Hibernia - another treasure on their list! — 9 years ago

Best Boardeux year — 13 years ago
xmas eve. Really nice bottle. Medium brown / crimson hue. Was firing right out of the bottle. Double decanted for 6hrs and served with ny strip roast and it only got better. Tar, autumn leaves, ash. And a slightly syrupy caramel note that gave a bass (but not roasted) note. — 7 years ago
Needs 2 hours. Lovely balance and softness. Not at the Lalande level but really nice. Classic in style. Moderate finish. — 9 years ago
One of the most elegant wines I have ever had from Australia. Perhaps on the other side of its life but pure with wild herbs, smoked meat notes and great length. 1980 — 10 years ago
Champagne Krug 1982. Dry fruits, toasty, and nuts. My friend didn't chill it too much, which was wise and correct to treat a vintage champagne like this bottle. — 11 years ago

Lovely aged classic claret. Perfect Christmas drink. Angels singing, upon a midnight, the stars in the bright sky. Hark, hark, hark. — 5 years ago
