97/100 points
Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (183)
“Here is an example of why a second wine is well worth buying in a great vintage. Unfortunately, I do not have any of the 1990, and I couldn't find any to purchase, but I bought plenty of the 1982, although I never dreamed it would be drinking so great at age 27. Much lighter around the edge than its bigger sibling, it exhibits an explosive nose of charcoal, black fruits, herbs, and soil undertones. Full-bodied and fleshy with no hard edges, which is exactly the way it performed over the last 10-15 years, given the fact that it has aged so beautifully for so long. ”
Kept in underground temperature and humidity-controlled cellar. Any import costs outside the EU (including UK and Switzerland) are entirely the buyer's responsibility.
