Lot Details

Description

Château Margaux 1982

Margaux, 1er Cru Classé

u. 2bn, 2vts, rest good levels, excellent appearance, capsules showing slight signs of corrosion, 2 very slightly nicked

In 2018, this is tremendous, with the gap between it and the 1983 ever-widening. Multi-layered Cabernet complexity and depth at every turn, with all the richness of sumptuous black fruit on great terroir. The texture combines refinement with all-enveloping, wrap-around warmth, still full of life and vibrancy. First Growth 1982s reign supreme, as ever.
