Château Margaux--Vintage 1982
Margaux, 1er cru classé
Lot 48 levels: bottom neck or better; lightly glue stained labels
Lot 49 levels: ten bottom neck, two top shoulder; two lightly damp stained labels
"The 1982 Margaux is a great contrast to the Latour of the same vintage. The 82 Margaux still retains a freshness and a youthful vibrancy at 27 years of age, and shows lively red currant fruit character, but of a high-toned nature a really singing sort of fruit, overlaid with a subtle smokiness. On the palate the wine is very elegant, sophisticated, and satiny or silky as opposed to the velvety ripeness and density of the Latour. The finish here was also long and the wine was very expressive." CC, June 2009
