Lot 149 , 1982 Chateau Tour St Bonnet, Medoc, France (1)

1982 Chateau Tour St Bonnet, Medoc, France (1) ROBERT PARKER 90/100
A beautiful sleeper of the vintage, this is possibly the best wine I’ve ever tasted from this over-achieving estate near St.-Christoly-de-Medoc. A blend of 45% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petit Verdot, this wine normally sells for about $15 a bottle, making it an absolutely staggering value in the worldwide marketplace. The 2010 exhibits classic cedar wood, tobacco leaf, creme de cassis, licorice and some balsam wood notes in a strong, medium to full-bodied, layered style with good opulence, purity and overall harmony. A real beauty.
