Description

One bottle of the legend that is Margaux 1982. Stored in the same cellar for decades it is in excellent order. Best UK landed stock WS is £850 (Crump's has sold) and the reserve on this is way below that so grab a bargain.

PayPay preferred for everyone's safety, but will ask 5% for fees.

Thanks for looking.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 30/06/2009 Consistently scoring between 98-100, the superb 1982 Margaux may be slightly bigger, bolder, and more masculine than vintages produced over the last 15-20 years. Its dark plum/purple color is followed by notes of melted tar intermixed with sweet cassis and floral underpinnings. Very full-bodied and dense for a Chateau Margaux, with a slight rusticity to the tannins, it boasts blockbuster power, richness, and impressive aromatics. It appears set for another 30-40 years of life. At one time I thought the 1983 was the more classic and better effort from Chateau Margaux, but I am human: the 1982 has overtaken the 1983 and is obviously the superior effort. It started off life as a somewhat ruggedly constructed, powerful, masculine, even coarse style of Chateau Margaux with high levels of tannin, huge extract and richness. Increasingly civilised, with the tannin becoming seamlessly integrated, this opaque purple/garnet coloured wine offers up hints of incense, sweet truffles, smoke, blackcurrants, flowers, and damp earth. Very full bodied, with remarkable levels of glycerin, extract and tannin, this is probably the largest scaled, most concentrated Chateau Margaux under the Mentzelopoulos administration. It is doubtful it will ever rival the 2000, 1996, or 1990 for pure finesse or elegance. In spite of these high levels of tannin, it does not appear to have the classicism of these vintages, but this wine goes from strength to strength and is quickly becoming one of the all time compelling effort of Chateau Margaux. Anticipated maturity: now-2035. (98+)
