A REMARKABLE COLLECTION OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY BORDEAUX , FEATURING TOP WINES OF THE FINEST VINTAGES, INCLUDING PARCELS OF 1982 AND 1990 FIRST-GROWTHS
This remarkable selection of Bordeaux, lots 80 to 122, encompasses some of the greatest wines to be produced from that region in the last two decades. All the 'left-bank' first-growths of the legendary 1982 vintage are included, plus Cheval-Blanc and Leoville-Las-Cases. Exceptional, benchmark wines such as Lafite '86 and Haut-Brion'89 are offered in depth, plus the twin successes of Petrus in '89 and '90 to compliment Latour and Cheval-Blanc, also of the great 1990 vintage. A unique aspect of this offering is that these wines have never been moved from their bonded storage since original purchase by the owner or their agent, following each vintage and all are in original wooden cases. This is a rare opportunity to acquire some of the most impressive wines produced in post-war Bordeaux history with the additional guarantee of this uninterrupted cellerage and rarely available long-term provenance.

Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1982
