A bottle of Château Lynch Bages 1982 Grand Cru Classé from Bordeaux's Pauillac appellation.
'The 1982 Lynch Bages is fabulous and possibly the strongest showing I have ever seen. Surprisingly, it was even more rich, full and profound than I remember it being the last time I tasted it. 95/100' Robert Parker, Hedonists Gazette, October 2012
A famously generous, over-performing 'Fifth Growth', or Cinquième Cru Classé in the 1855 Classification, Lynch Bages is a 100 hectare estate planted with 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc for its red wines.
There is no ABV stated on the label.
This lot comes from the cellar of our Whisky Exchange colleague; author, wine educator and fortified wine authority, the late Godfrey Spence.

The Whisky.Auction team has inspected this lot and found it to be suitable for sale. However, please note the absence of a condition statement does not imply that this lot is in perfect condition or free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of ageing. We cannot guarantee that the contents of this bottle will be free from the effects of age, cork taint, oxidation or other faults. Older bottles often contain sediment. Wines are more fragile than spirits and older wines may be listed, at our discretion, for their historical interest rather than their drinkability. We can in no way guarantee that they are still within their plateau of maturity or to the buyer’s taste.
This bottle does not appear to be leaking. While we take every care to pack bottles securely we cannot guarantee that old corks and closures will not leak in transit.
