Chateau Cos d'Estournel 1982 Chateau Cos d'Estournel 1982 St. Estephe, 2eme Cru Classe Wine comes from 2 different importers, 6 slightly scuffed labels, otherwise excellent levels and very good appearance Last tasted from magnum at 28 years old. This has the real stamp of its appellation and the roasted berries of 1982. Dense liquorice and spicy aromatics with luscious raisins at the end. In 2011, a wonderful spicy nose. And a very "oriental" taste like the pagodas of the Chateau itself! SS. Lot 5118 10 bts (sc) per lot: HKD 13000-19000 per lot: USD 1700-2500 What more can one say about 1982, a vintage that became, and has remained, iconic? Obviously, now, the wines that shine are those at the top - but then this is what we sell at Sotheby's! The great heat, which continued into the night, created the special character of the year, where extract replaced acidity to project the wines into the future. Perfect ripeness combined with a high yield, proving that you can have both quality and quantity if conditions are right. All the First Growths, and their equivalents on the Right Bank, are outstanding, with tremendous individuality and panache - that is why comparative tastings of the greatest 1982s are some of the best wine experiences you can have. Just look at the Super Seconds as well - Pichon Lalande, for instance, is miraculous. SS. Quantity: 1
