Gevrey Chambertin
(11-1998) Medium-red, with a garnet hue. Aromas of dried cherry, with perfume and a hint of earth. Full-bodied, very firm, with well-integrated, silky tannins and a long, ripe fruit aftertaste. Much better than I remember.--1982 Bordeaux horizontal. Best after 2000.

(12-1995) Although the 1982 Larmande has reached full maturity, it has held at this plateau without one sign of fruit loss - always a hallmark of a top Bordeaux. Still dark garnet-colored with some amber at the edge, this sweet, jammy, herb, licorice, berry, and Asian spice-scented wine is full-bodied, unctuously-textured, thick, and juicy with gobs of fruit. It is soft and velvety, so why defer your gratification any longer. I expect it to last for another 7-8 years . Tasted 9 times since bottling with consistent notes.
