Lot 120 Details
CHÂTEAU MARGAUX 1982

Margaux. 1er Cru Classé

The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and mineral-laden, that suggestion of candied orange peel on the entry segueing into layers of pure red and black fruit. There is always something effortless about this Chateau Margaux and the pixelation on the finish is up there with the very best. Is it the best 1982 First Growth? No, it's not quite up there with 1982 Latour or Mouton-Rothschild, however, it is a sublime evocation of the vineyard and it will continue to give pleasure for a couple of decades yet. Tasted May 2016. Drink: 2016-2036 WA 97

1 bt.    per lot $1,600 - $1,800
