Description:

ChateauGrand Puy Lacoste1982
Pauillac, 5eme Cru Classe
u: two bottom neck, five very top shoulder, light wear to capsules (light corrosion to two),staining to three labels, one partially unaffixed
"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. Anticipated maturity: now-2035." R. Parker for TWA, 96 pts. 06/09
7 bottles
Estimate $1,000-1,400
