I have only had this wine once in the last ten years. Tasted at the Chateau, it revealed surprisingly delicious, ripe cherry fruit, a textbook Graves nose (tobacco, minerals, herbs), fine sweetness, and a lush, medium-bodied, seductive style. Although the wine has been drinkable most of its life, it exhibits no signs of decline. The color is just beginning to lighten at the edge. The 1982 Carbonnieux should continue to drink well for another decade . Tasted once since bottling. Dec 1995, www.robertparker.com
Robert Parker Score: 86/100
