About this Item

St Julien, 1982
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

The Fourth Growth from St Julien has a reputation for consistency and is one of the most carefully made clarets. 1982 remains a classic vintage for Chateau Talbot.

Critics Ratings

Along with the 1986, the 1982 is one of the greatest Talbots ever made. Far more evolved than its stablemate, Gruaud Larose, it exhibits a dense garnet color to the rim along with a huge, sweet, exotic nose of charcoal, beef blood, licorice, herbs, and black fruits. A hint of figs suggests borderline overripeness, but the wine remains fleshy and full-bodied with sweet tannin and an expansive, heady mouthfeel. While fully mature, it should hold for another decade. - Robert Parker 95/100 (2009)
