Lot 36 Details
CHÂTEAU TALBOT 1982

Saint-Julien. 4ième Cru Classé
u. 2 x hs. 2 x soild, scraped & wrinkled labels. 1 x recessed cork.

Along with the 1986, the 1982 is one of the greatest Talbots ever made. Far more evolved than its stablemate, Gruaud Larose, it exhibits a dense garnet color to the rim along with a huge, sweet, exotic nose of charcoal, beef blood, licorice, herbs, and black fruits. A hint of figs suggests borderline overripeness, but the wine remains fleshy and full-bodied with sweet tannin and an expansive, heady mouthfeel. While fully mature, it should hold for another decade. WA 95

2 bts.    per lot $700 - $900

Realised: $906
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
