FINE BORDEAUX
The gems of this collection are certainly the 1982 Mouton and Lafite, but all of the wines here were bought on release in the '80s and stored in custom temperature-controlled home storage in New Jersey since purchase. As the conditions listed clearly state, the wines in this consignment were stored carefully, and are in excellent condition.
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Lot 220 levels: bottom neck or better; one nicked capsule, two lightly wrinkled labels, one very lightly tissue stained label
Lot 221 levels: six bottom neck, two very top shoulder; one sign of old seepage, three nicked capsules, two lightly nicked labels, two lightly wrinkled labels
"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." Dinner at Christie's. CC, December 2009
