CHATEAU MARGAUX 1982 |

Château Margaux 1982 Margaux, 1er Cru Classéu. 5bn, 1vts, 3t/hs, 1hs, 1h/m, excellent color and clarity, 8 importer slips partially covering bottom of labels, 1 heavily damp stained label, 5 damp stained importer slips, 1 damaged capsule, 1 minor sign of old seepage, purchased from 'The Classic Cellar From A Great American Collector IX' at Sotheby's Hong Kong on 31 March 2012At 30 years old, absolutely stunning. Flawless and at the top of the 'treat' scale. The multi-layered complexity of Cabernet on supreme terroir in a very ripe year comes through on the nose, together with massive cinnamon and black cherries. Dense, rich, voluptuous and thick on the palate. Blackcurrant 'bite' and vibrancy runs all through this. This is 'grand vin' at its most glorious. In 2013 and from magnum, what really impressed was the ultra-refined texture. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 9811 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
