FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why choose this 1982 to discover a great Bordeaux vintage?

1982 is considered an exceptional vintage in Bordeaux, with favorable conditions for the grapes to reach optimal ripeness. In Margaux, wines from this year are renowned for their aromatic complexity and balanced structure: this is what makes this bottle interesting to explore.

Does this wine suit someone looking for elegance rather than power?

The Margaux appellation is renowned for its elegant, refined reds, making it a fitting option for this preference. However, this is an indication based on the appellation: no tasting note specific to this 1982 Château d’Issan describes how it currently expresses itself.

How should I interpret a Parker score of 87 for such a renowned vintage?

A vintage’s reputation applies to an entire year, while the score of 87 applies to this wine. The two should therefore be distinguished: the exceptional nature of 1982 does not mean that every bottle receives such a high rating. The commentary associated with this score has not been provided.

Can you expect specific aromas from this old bottle?

The description highlights the aromatic complexity of 1982 Margaux wines, but does not specify any aromas for this cuvée. It would therefore be unwise to claim particular notes or describe its current bouquet based solely on its age.

Is this a good choice as a gift for someone who enjoys old Bordeaux wines?

Its 1982 vintage and Margaux origin make it an appealing choice for someone who enjoys old Bordeaux wines. If the bottle is intended to be opened, it is still important to find out about its storage conditions and condition, as these are not documented here.
