Chateau Margaux 1982 Chateau Margaux 1982 Margaux, 1er Cru Classe Lot 1192: 2 nicked labels, 2 very slightly scuffed labels, slightly corroded capsules, otherwise excellent appearance, color and clarity Lot 1193: u. 3bn, 4 import labels partially attached to main labels, excellent appearance, color and clarity Lot 1194: u. 2bn, 3vts, 1ts, 6 levels into neck, glue stained labels, 1 nicked label, 2 torn capsules, 2 nicked capsules, excellent color and clarity, Lot 1195: u. 2bn, 1vts, 2ts, 1t/hs, 5 levels into neck, slightly scuffed labels, 4 nicked labels, 1 nicked capsule, slightly corroded capsules, excellent color and clarity In early 2010, we compared this with the 1983 at a dinner party at home and the room was (still) divided! An ethereal scent, even comparable to the 1961 in depth and class, and a taste of loganberries, blackberries and pepper. The texture has real finesse and, of course, it is deliciously ripe. David and I just give this top prize. SS. Lot 1192 12 bts (owc) Lot 1193 12 bts (owc) Lot 1194 12 bts (owc) per lot: HKD 60000-85000 per lot: USD 8000-11000 Chateau Margaux is the most imposing building of all the First Growths, its neo-classical elegance reflected in the sheer aristocratic bearing of the wines. The superb scent of Margaux fascinates - so alluring, so complex and so giving. The Mentzelopoulos regime wines are unerringly consistent in quality, often topping the charts against the toughest opposition. There is weight and depth, added to the breed and class that come from this fabulous terroir. Modern vintages are giants, brilliant creations of technical director, Paul Pontallier, exuding richness and rewarding the drinker with undying memories. SS. Quantity: 1
