At its peak, this wine merited a score in the mid-nineties in the mid and late-eighties. Back then, it was usually a sumptuous surprise in blind tastings. While the 1982 Haut-Marbuzet has lost some of its dynamic richness and complexity, it still offers an excellent, nearly outstanding mouthful of juicy, complex, buttery, black currant and cherry fruit infused with copious quantities of smoky, toasty oak. The acidity is low in this fleshy, delicious wine, but it is no longer as flamboyant as it was a decade ago.
A beautiful, sexy red. Dark ruby with a slightly garnet hue. Lovely floral, berry and spice aromas. Full-bodied, with lovely silky tannins and a fruity, complex aftertaste
