1982 Chateau L'Arrosee (St. Emilion)
(2007-11-06 19:09:01 UTC) buddy icon 1982 Chateau L'Arrosee (St. Emilion) 100/100

Drank this wine w/ family on August 5, 2007. Divine. Spectacular finish that just kept on going, and going, and going......I've had a number of '82 Bordeaux's in the past ~7 years (maybe a case worth?) and this has held up better than some of the more recent ones (that were slightly past their prime). Very soft, and elegant. The finish was so good that despite the amazing taste you couldn't drink this wine quickly if you tried, because you just become captivated by it long after your sip. Wish I'd started reviewing the '82s sooner.

Very smooth and a little mild for a Zin. Very good but nothing was overly distinct.

This is consistency defined in champagne. Always very, very good, but not really out of this world.

I thought this was much sweeter, to a fault, than the 2005 version of this wine. Drinkable
