Punchy perfume. Still has a core of youth and a smoky edge. Looking forward to revisiting a magnum in the coming decade. Winner of the #christmas #1982 #showdown #sonoma — 11 years ago

1999: Clos de la Roche face off.

Domaine Dujac still young, needs time to develop. 9.1 rating.

Domaine Ponsot more complex at this stage, yet might become a bit weird later, or could simply have been this bottle. Overall, the more interesting of this showdown. — 13 years ago
