"...The huge, smoky, bacon fat, cassis-scented perfume jumps from the glass of this seductive, hedonistic wine. The 1982 has been delicious from birth due to its low acidity and fat, open-knit character. There is no amber or lightening at the edge of its dark ruby/purple color. The wine exhibits a thick, unctuous texture, gobs of fruit, and plenty of heady alcohol in the blockbuster finish."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
The northern Rhone's most prestigious red appellation, producing perfumed, elegant Syrah, often co-fermented with a little Viognier, from steep terraced slopes.
