Branaire Ducru 1982 750mL (Top Shoulder, Oxidized Capsule, Slightly Soiled Label)

"A strong effort for this estate, the 1982 exhibits sweet aromas of plums, licorice, earth, and flowers. The tannins are slightly rustic, but the sweetness of the fruit, the broad expansive mouthfeel, and the wine’s full maturity represent a classic Bordeaux at the top of its game." - Wine Advocate, RP93, tasted 6/2009
