Chateau Branaire-Saint Julien-1982

Yup. Here are the notes posted in this group on the '82 Branaire:

Mark Lipton

1982 Branaire Ducru - the lighter of this pair in colour, with a warm vanilla nose showing no particular single fruit note, but rather a homogenised generic mature Bordeaux sort of nose. Very soft in the mouth and medium long in finish, a claret on the plateau of drinkability.

Mark's link indexed notes including mine. But I'll just reiterate that the '82 Branaire was the surprise of a blind horizontal of '82s, against a much more pedigreed group. I don't think it is probably as good a wine as those firsts and super-seconds, but its a damn fine wine that's at its peak. Dale
