CHATEAU BRANAIRE DUCRU 1982 (MAGNUMS) Stock: 64957 This is one of those 1982s that is a joy to savor at the moment. In magnums, it's a beauty! "This is an elegant 1982, with blueberry, raspberry, mineral, and spicy oak aromas in the moderately intense, polite bouquet. The color is a healthy dark ruby with no lightening or amber. The wine exhibits firmness in the mouth as well as good flesh, a sweet, ripe entry, medium body, and impressive elegance and length. Not a blockbuster such as Gruaud-Larose, Leoville-Las-Cases, Leoville-Barton, and Leoville-Poyferre, this youthful, vibrant 1982 is a model of symmetry and finesse. Anticipated maturity: now-2015." 90 points Robert Parker n/a
