Vintage 1982

1982 by James Suckling

The 1982 vintage in Bordeaux changed the world of wine and my life. It was the first vintage I tasted from barrel as a young wine writer working for the American magazine The Wine Spectator, and I was amazed at how magnificent the quality of a young red could be in barrel.

I remember the first barrel samples I tasted in the summer of 1983 at Château Prieuré-Lichine with the late wine author and winemaker Alexis Lic...

Since I am not able to put my TNs on the wine in question under Certan Marzelle I doit it than under Certan Giraud.

Apparently after Giraud family purchased this property in 1956 and renamed it Certan Giraud, there was still some kind of agreement between new owner and negociant in Bordeaux, who had an exclusivity on name Certan Marzelle (name of the property before Girauds purchase) and received part of the Certan Giraud production as that. As far I have been told, there was no difference between those two wines, apart from Certan Marzelle label being white with black letters and Certan Giraud being black with golden letters.

This wine was simply stunning at cold evening in the beginning of December 2019 in Copenhagen. Dark red, very aromatic with truffles, so young in appearance that you couldn't believe it, so fresh with fantastic balance, complexity and structure. My friend who is incredibly experienced taster, guessed this wine to be 2000!! 37 years old Pomerol and still kicking ass! My feel is that this wine can live at least 20 years more. I have one bottle left of this beauty. 95p.
