1982 Gruaud Larose 2012 Aged for 16 months inA massive wine that is clearly of first growth quality in this vintage, the 1982 Gruaud Larose remains a youngster. A broodingly dense, thick, unctuously textured, inky plum garnet purple color offers up scents of beef blood, steak tartare, cassis, herbs, tobacco, and underbrush. One of the most concentrated wines of the vintage, it is a huge, full bodied, weighty, rich wine whose tannins are getting silkier and silkier. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
