A MAGNIFICENT SELECTION OF THE FINEST BORDEAUX, BURGUNDY & CHAMPAGNE FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTOR
Lots 600 to 693, from an extensive and impressive private collection includes wines from only the very finest and most prestigious properties and many of the outstanding vintages from the last three decades. Bordeaux is heavily represented with many of the finest Châteaux such as Lafite-Rothschild, Mouton-Rothschild, Latour, Margaux, Pétrus, Cheval Blanc and Le Pin to name just a few. Also represented are Dom Pérginon and Krug champagnes from the outstanding 1990, 1995 and 1996 vintages and white Burgundy from Domaine Leflaive. The wines have been recently removed from optimum professional storage in the underground cellars at Octavian in the English countryside and brought to Hong Kong specifically for this sale.
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Levels: eleven bottom neck or better, one very top-shoulder; one very slightly damaged capsule; two slightly damaged labels otherwise excellent appearance
In original wooden case
Tasting Note: "Eventually a triumph. On decanting and for two and a half hours later, the wine was big and smoky, with ripe fruit, a rather burnt nose, and firm, grippy tannins. With time a softer, riper plum and fig fruit character arose and the smoky, burnt aromas took a backseat, along with cedary lead pencil notes. On the palate in time the tannins softened as well, providing a lush, rich, velvety drink just in time for the steak." CC, December 2009
