A SUPERB COLLECTION OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY BORDEAUX, FIRST-GROWTHS OF THE GREAT 1982 AND 1990 VINTAGES
This remarkable selection of Bordeaux, lots 209 to 249, 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 Petrus '90 to compliment Latour and Margaux, 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 cellarage and rarely available long-term provenance.
Lying in Gloucestershire at Christie's (Octavian)
Offered duty-paid, but available in bond except for lots 209 to 212
Offered in original wooden cases
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting note: still impressively deep and comparatively youthful; a well developed, sweet and harmonious bouquet. Mouthfilling, so much on show, so much left to show. April 2001. Another effortless 20 years? M.B.
