{"product_id":"chateau-lascombes-1982-2","title":"Chateau Lascombes Margaux 1982 AOC 0,75l","description":"\u003cp\u003eLascombes is a second growth of Margaux with an unusually broken-up vineyard — parcels scattered across the commune rather than one continuous block — which has always made it a harder estate to run than its rank suggests. In 1982 it belonged to the British brewer Bass Charrington, who had bought it in 1971 from the syndicate assembled by the American wine writer Alexis Lichine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vintage carried it. 1982 was hot, early and generous, and Margaux made richer, fleshier wines than the commune's usual perfumed style. Lascombes from those years is a medium-weight, fragrant claret rather than a blockbuster, and it reached full maturity some time ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn practice that means a soft, sweet-edged, fully evolved Margaux — dried violets, cedar, a touch of truffle — best opened without ceremony and drunk within an hour of pouring. As a gift it does the important job, which is to carry a date on the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Château Lascombes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1982\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Margaux AOC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bordeaux, France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere it is likely to be now.\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully evolved and delicate rather than robust, so it should be opened soon and treated kindly; like every pre-1990 bottle here it is sold as a collectible item without a guarantee of drinkability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho it suits.\u003c\/strong\u003e A second growth at a mid-range price, which makes it a good forty-fourth birthday or anniversary gift in 2026 when the classification on the label matters to the recipient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition.\u003c\/strong\u003e The merchant records the bottle as good, with the label, capsule and fill level all normal for its age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance.\u003c\/strong\u003e Bought to order from a professional European merchant.
