Robert Parker (95)

The fully mature 1982 offers a profoundly complex nose of cedar, smoky tobacco/cigar box, dried herbs, black currants, licorice, and spice. In the mouth, the wine does not reveal the huge volume and roasted ripeness found in many of the top 1982s, but it does possess extraordinary complexity, finesse, and harmony. Medium-bodied, with gorgeously rich fruit, this delicate, subtle, ethereal effort is both well-defined and intense. It should continue to drink well for 7-10 years, possibly longer.

Winespectator (93)

A blockbuster of a wine. Has lovely, ripe raspberry and black olive aromas, full body and tons of tannins, but an abundance of fleshy ripe fruit flavor balances it out.
