1982 La Dominique St Emilion

93 pts - Wine Advocate

The 1982 La Dominique has been fully mature for at least 15 years, but if stored in a cold cellar, it holds on to its beautiful fruit. There is a slight hint of prunes, along with licorice, herbs, jammy black cherry and cassis fruit as well as that subtle seaweed smell that I associate with nori, the wrapper used in sushi restaurants. Still full-bodied, complex, and tasty, it is ready for prime time consumption. I don’t know how much longer the fruit will hold, so owners of this 1982 should not tempt fate.Release price: ($75.00/case) - WA, RP (6/2009)
