I've been finding the '81's wonderful to my taste -- classic balance, flavor, intensity, tannin for aging. Favorites: Leoville-Las-Cases, Pichon-Lalande, Fonbadet, La Conseil- lante (Pomerol). Are there other great ones? There's been lots of good press (hype?) on the '82 vintage, which seems to be a big, fat, relatively high-alcohol, almost "California style" year. Has anyone tasted them yet, or are there RELIABLE tasting notes in print? I'd be happy to trade notes & leads as I come across them. Alan Tobey mt xinu, Berkeley ucbvax!mtxinu!alan 9 9
