Lot 525 Details
CHÂTEAU GRAND-PUY-LACOSTE 1982 (3)

Pauillac. 5ième Cru Classé
u. 1 x bn. 1 x vts. 1 x ts. 3 x stained & wrinkled labels.

This is a tour de force, and one of the all-time great Grand-Puy-Lacostes ever produced, as I hope the 2000 and 2005 will become. This is an inky/purple, beefy, broad, super-rich Pauillac revealing classic creme de cassis notes intermixed with hints of spring flowers and crushed rocks. Full-bodied with sweet tannin, shocking concentration, and layers of fruit, this irresistible 1982 is still an adolescent in terms of its evolution. Drink to 2035 WS 92 WA 96

Margaux. 2ième Cru Classé
