The 1982 is virtually identical in quality to the 1983 Boyd-Cantenac, but is styled differently. The 1982 has a dark ruby color with a trace of amber, a rich, fragrant, ripe black cherry bouquet, unctuous, fat, fleshy flavors, full body, and moderate tannins. Anticipated maturity: Now-2005. Last tasted, 1/90.

Always a sleeper from Margaux. Dark ruby in color, with an inky center. Full-bodied, very tannic and mouthpuckering, with loads of blackberry and earth aromas. Will improve with age.--1982 Bordeaux horizontal. Drink now through 2006.
