99 RP. "...The huge, smoky, bacon fat, cassis-scented perfume jumps from the glass of this seductive, hedonistic wine. The 1982 has been delicious from birth due to its low acidity and fat, open-knit character. There is no amber or lightening at the edge of its dark ruby/purple color. The wine exhibits a thick, unctuous texture, gobs of fruit, and plenty of heady alcohol in the blockbuster finish." Rhone Book, Jan 1997 |
