1978 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape (750ml)
The 1978 Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Château de Beaucastel came up rst, poured completely blind. I believe this is the last vintage of Jacques Perrin. It shows moderate bricking commensurate with its age, and an endearing, mellow bouquet of Earl Grey, pre...
1983 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape (750ml)
The 1983 Beaucastel had never been one of my favorite vintages for this wine, but it has begun to finally turn the corner and soften up and is now looking very promising indeed. I have had this wine four or five times in the last couple of years, and it h...
1989 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape (750ml)
The 1989 is inkier/purple in color than the 1990, with an extraordinarily sweet, rich personality offering up notes of smoke, melted licorice, black cherries, Asian spices, and cassis. Full-bodied and concentrated, it is one of the most powerful as well a...
1982 Chateau Certan De May - Pomerol (750ml)
Château Certan de May Pomerol 1982: This is a reminder of how great 1982 is for Pomerol. People talk about Petrus or Le Pin as benchmarks for the year (I prefer Lafleur) but this wine from Certan de May is very, very impressive. It shows an amazing comple...
1982 Chateau La Mission Haut Brion Pessac
Still exhibiting remarkable concentration, enormous body, silky sweet tannin, and no perceptible acidity, the 1982 remains fresh, delineated and super-compelling.
1982 Chateau Le Bon Pasteur Pomerol
The few critics that Michel Rolland still has need to taste this wine to understand a wine that was fabulous to drink young, yet at age 27 continues to perform incredibly well. A classic Pomerol, it boasts a dark garnet color with only slight lightening a...
1982 Chateau Leoville Barton - St. Julien
Still one of the most backward wines of the vintage, Leoville-Barton’s 1982 is a wine of huge extract, high tannin, and a somewhat ancient style that recalls some of the Bordeaux of the late forties. The color is still a dense, even murky, opaque ruby/gar...
1983 Chateau Margaux - Margaux
One of the wines I opened to celebrate the end of harvest in Burgundy this year was a bottle of the 1983 Château Margaux, and I was blessed with a perfect cork, something that isn't a given with this vintage. Offering up beautiful aromas of sweet cassis, ...
1982 Chateau Petite Village Pomerol (750ml)
Owned and managed by the brilliant Bruno Prats (owner of Cos d'EStournel) from 1971 to 1989.
Placed on the eastern outskirts of Pomerol and the hamlet Catusseau, the estate lies in a cluster with Château Beauregard, Vieux Château Certan and Château La Conseillante.
The legendary 1982 vintage left its mark across Bordeaux, and Château Petit-Village crafted one of its finest wines of the era. Sourced from the estate’s prime gravel-and-clay plateau in the heart of Pomerol, this is fully mature Right Bank claret with all the complexity, polish, and charm collectors hope for.
The wine shows a beautifully evolved bouquet—truffle, dried plum, cedar, tobacco leaf, and warm spices—unfolding with the soft, savory depth only decades of careful cellaring can deliver. On the palate it remains remarkably graceful: silky tannins, sweet tertiary fruit, and a lingering, earthy finish that speaks clearly of classic Pomerol terroir.
A rare chance to experience a well-preserved bottle from one of Bordeaux’s greatest vintages. Perfect for collectors, mature-wine enthusiasts, or anyone looking to mark a special occasion with a true piece of Pomerol history.
1982 Chateau Petrus Pomerol (750ml)
The 1982 Petrus is a wine I have been fortunate enough to taste perhaps a dozen times, however, this is the only occasion when it is served in magnum and at least based on this, it makes a world of dierence compared to its lesser showings in bottle. Fi...
1982 Chateau Sociando Mallet - Medoc
The 1982 Sociando-Mallet is a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, picked from September 17 to October 3. It has a lovely bouquet of red currant and cranberry fruit, warm bricks (terracotta?), a touch of Marm...
1977 Graham's Porto Vintage Port HALF BOTTLE (375ml)
Graham is another great port house, producing one of the deepest-colored and sweetest styles of vintage port. Along with Taylor and Fonseca, Graham has probably been the most consistent producer of great port in the post- World War II era. Their tawnys ar...
