" 92 points Robert Parker: "I have drunk several cases of this wine, but this was one of the finest bottles I ever tasted. This dark plum/garnet-colored, extraordinarily fragrant 1982 offers a terrific bouquet of roasted coffee, cedar wood, prunes, plums, and cherry liqueur. Sexy, opulently-textured, medium to full-bodied, and extremely low in acidity, it boasts wonderfully fresh fruit. This La Dominique, while fully mature (it has been for over a decade), displays no signs of losing its intensity or succulent fatness. Drink it over the next ten years." (06/2000) 92 points Wine Spectator: "I never thought much of this wine, but it's a voluptous red. Black ink in color, with a garnet edge. Blackberry, black truffle and ripe fruit. Full-bodied, with full integrated tannins and a long, silky finish. Big yet harmonious.--1982 Bordeaux horizontal. Drink now." (11/98)"
