96 points Neal Martin's Wine Journal: "Tasted at Pebbles/Zachy’s 1982 dinner in Hong Kong. This is the first time that I have encountered this legendary 1982 Pomerol and all I can say is yes, yes and YES! The perfume immediately informs you that the praise is justified, unfurling with gorgeous violet and black truffle aromas. There is real minerality here and wonderful poise. The palate is very well balanced: quite stern and aloof at the beginning but there is great fruit intensity and minerality that underpins this Certan-de-May. There is a sense of effortless harmony and refinement on the meaty, ferrous finish that is utterly seductive. This is a just a beautiful Pomerol, though I agree with “RP” that it has the substance of vivacity to go on and on and on. Magnificent!" (01/2013)
