Lot #217. Branaire-Ducru 1982

Description: Consists of 6 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 93 RP.
"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 #183, Jun 2009
