Margaux
Damaged label

1982 Château du Tertre is a fine, fully mature expression of Margaux from one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated vintages. After more than four decades in bottle, it has transitioned from youthful power to a wonderfully graceful, aromatic style, where perfume, finesse and subtle complexity are the defining features.

In the glass, it shows a pale brick-garnet colour with a wide, amber-tinted rim. The bouquet is delicate yet intricate: dried redcurrant and cherry, cedar and pencil shavings, with notes of cigar box, leather and autumnal undergrowth. Classic Margaux florals—dried rose petal and a touch of violet—hover in the background, adding lift and elegance. …

Pessac Leognan

1982 Château La Louvière comes from the legendary 1982 Bordeaux vintage and offers a beautifully mature expression of Graves.

Quinta do Noval Nacional

86/100 Wine Spectator

Noval is particularly famous for its Nacional, a Port produced in some years only from a 2 hectare parcel at the heart of the Noval vineyard where ungrafted vines survive. This is remarkable, because phylloxera, the root munching aphid that necessitates grafting vines onto resistant American rootstock, is endemic in the Douro
