SMALL LOTS OF FIRST GROWTHS
Château Margaux--Vintage 1982
Margaux, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Lightly bin-soiled label. Level base of neck
Tasting note: Consistently scoring between 98-100, the superb 1982 Margaux may be slightly bigger, bolder, and more masculine than vintages produced over the last 15-20 years. Its dark plum/purple color is followed by notes of melted tar intermixed with sweet cassis and floral underpinnings. Very full-bodied and dense for a Château Margaux, with a slight rusticity to the tannins, it boasts blockbuster power, richness, and impressive aromatics. It appears set for another 30-40 years of life. 98 points. Rober Parker, Wine Advocate #183, August 2009.
