Lot 178 Details
CHÂTEAU GRAND-PUY-LACOSTE 1982

Pauillac. 5ième Cru Classé

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. WS 92 WA 96

2 bts.    per lot $600 - $800

Realised: $678
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
