Le Bon Pasteur - 1982 (750ml) GBU cellar This is a 21st centuryA classic Pomerol, it boasts a dark garnet color with only slight lightening at the edge as well as sensational aromas of creme brulee, chocolate covered black cherries and currants, figs, and plums, full bodied, powerful, rich flavors, and tremendous purity, opulence, and length.
