Château Margaux 1982 (6 BT)

Château Margaux 1982

Margaux, 1er Cru Classé

u. 2vts, 2ts, 1t/hs, 1hs, 3 damp-stained and glue-striped labels, 2 damp-stained labels, 1 damp-stained and scuffed label, 1 torn capsule, 2 slightly corroded capsules and slightly sunken corks, 4 slight signs of old seepage, different importers

In 2024 and from magnum, an incredibly exotic nose, all Cairo spice bazaar, then Scottish Highland heather! The sheer opulence on the palate stops you in its tracks - pour into a large glass to get the full impact. The juiciness of the fruit is astonishing, with blackcurrants to the fore. The luscious liquorice finish is all-enveloping and totally memorable, the glycerol mouth-coating and the beauty non negotiable. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
