Made by the same team that produced the perfect 1982 Lafleur, this wine had been forgotten in my cellar. While it’s clear that the new owner, Catherine Pere-Verge, has made some amazing wines since 2005 (especially the 2008), the 1982 is a wine for the ages. Still an inky/purple color, it boasts an extraordinary perfume of spring flowers intermixed with black raspberries, truffles, and kirsch. Full-bodied with velvety tannins, the wine remains extremely young, but the sweetness of the tannins and the sensational fruit concentration make for a remarkable wine that should evolve for another 30+ years. Release price: ($175.00/case)

The 1982 Le Gay continues to drink well. This bottle is one of the better examples that I have come across. Quite rich and decadent on the nose, even rustic, with black brambly fruit, rusty nails and truffle aromas. With time, a slight greenness is perceptible underneath it all, along with some mulch and peat. The grippy palate delivers plenty of licorice-infused black fruit, and there is a healthy dose of black pepper on the solid finish. It does not know the meaning of finesse, but what charm! Tasted at Mere restaurant in London.
