Fantastic bottle of la Dominique that I’ve been lugging around for years. Got turned on by a serious collector years ago. He said, “son, buy the big wines to impress your friends. Buy the 82 Dominque to drink by yourself “. That’s what I did. This is so rich and jam packed with mature and almost syrupy fruit and interlaced with beautiful barnyard and forest mushrooms growing everywhere, all around you. A real Bordeaux journey through the woods and back in time. I have one bottle left, and yes you guessed it. I will be drinking it all by my self. Drink!

Intensely dusty, forrest floor, feel like a lot of the primary fruit has faded. Very pleasant secondary flavors though. Bay leaves, more dust. On the older side, past its prime, but still quite enjoyable.

A beautiful, classic bottle. Actually stank of TCA when I first opened it, and I was like here-we-go-again!, but whatever that was blew off. Smoky, cedar, spice-laden nose, nice verve on the palate, still layered and sweet. Glorious, tertiary stuff, still at peak.
