Bordeaux Vintage Information Desired


Anybody out there with direct experience or reliable  infor-
mation on recent red Bordeaux vintages?

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.
