Score 79/100 · Robert Parker

How things have changed! The debut vintage of this luxury cuvee from La Croix de Gay, the 1982 has not turned out well. The color is taking on considerable amber. The wine is spicy and earthy, with some of the vintage's ripeness, but a diffuse personality. In addition, the wine lacks concentration and focus. Has it begun to fade ? Tasted 2 times since bottling with consistent notes. Dec 1995, www.robertparker.com
