Château Margaux 1982 Margaux, 1er Cru Classé1 dm - u. bn, very slightly scuffed label and capsule, purchased from 'The Classic Cellar From A Great American Collector IX' at Sotheby's Hong Kong on 31 March 2012, 1 dm - u. bn, very slightly scuffed label, capsule cut to reveal fully branded cork, 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 982 d.mag - 3 litres (2 cn)Estimates are per lot
