1982 La Lagune - Haut-Médoc ,
Bordeaux, France
Opened two hours, not
decanted.
Deep ruby aspect, slightly orange on the
rim.
Empyreumatic barn smell which, fortunately, dissipates after a few
minutes in the glass. Beautiful set of aromatic flavours: leather,
liquorice, tobacco (Havana cigar). In the course of the dinner, the
nose reveals even more complex nuances of ripe fruits and dried
leafs. The attack in mouth is dynamic, revealing a dense
texture
with still perceptible
tannins.
Balanced and long
finish. Although
slightly less impressive than the bottle opened in May 2006 in
Paris, 1982 La Lagune expresses all the potential of successful
wines in 1982. Chateau la Lagune is at maturity, but will probably
stay a few more years at this level. 92/100. |
