CHATEAU GRAND PUY LACOSTE 1982 MAGNUMS Stock: 2679 These beautiful Magnums have just been released by the chateau and they are in absolutely pristine condition. We have bought fifteen cases and five remain. Don't miss this amazing wine in this rare size and this kind of provenance. Absolutely spectacular, the 1982 Grand Puy Lacoste must be one of the most under-rated wines of the vintage. The color remains an opaque ruby/purple and there is no doubting the level of quality after one sniff and sip. The wine reveals the classic black currant, cedary profile of a Paulliac. Mature, yet tasting young, this massive, sensationally concentrated, full bodied wine offers layers of pure cassis-like fruit that comes across as grapy because of its intensity and youthfulness. It is a thrill to drink even though the wine is still extremely young and only hints at the possibilities that exist with another 5-10 years of cellaring, The finish lasts for 40 seconds or more. Potentially, this is the greatest Grand Puy Lacoste of the last three decades. A tour de force in winemaking!Last tasted, 9/02." 95 points Robert Parker Ex-Chateau, Original Cases. n/a
