CHATEAU MARGAUX 1982 |

Château Margaux 1982 Margaux, 1er Cru Classéu. 3vts, 3ts, 2t/hs, 1hs, scuffed and damp-stained labels, scuffed and slightly corroded capsule, 1 slightly raised cork, 1 slight sign of seepage, excellent color and clarityAt 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 989 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
