Merchant's description

Taillefer 1982 is a red wine from the Pomerol appellation, situated on Bordeaux`s Right Bank. Typically composed predominantly of Merlot, this vintage may also feature Cabernet Franc, reflecting the region`s distinctive clay-gravel soils. The 1982 vintage in Bordeaux is noted for its richness and concentration, resulting in wines that possess maturity and complexity. Château Taillefer, while lesser-known, consistently produces traditional wines. This vintage offers aromas of dried red and black fruits, leather, tobacco, and earthy notes. The palate reveals mature tannins and a long, savoury finish typical of Pomerol`s profile.
