St. Estephe
2vhs, 2hs, 1htms, 5bsl, 3nc
Bottle (5)

The Roberts Cellar – part four! The following lots are consigned by the estate of one of our biggest all-time consignors. This is the fourth and final installment coming from this incredible collector, which was stored underground in a temperature and humidity-controlled cellar. Many of these wines are the finest examples of their kind that we have ever had the pleasure of cataloguing. This is a fitting swansong for one of America’s great treasure troves.

"A dense, opaque garnet color is followed by notes of roasted meats, herbs, black currants, incense, and damp earth. Full-bodied, still extremely tannic (sweet but noticeable tannins), rich, and backward, where perfectly stored, this 1982 will last for another 50 years." (94+ pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, June 2009)

"At age 40, the 1982 Calon-Ségur remains a powerful, muscular wine that still takes several hours to open up in the decanter. Exhibiting aromas of sweet blackcurrants, earthy undergrowth and pencil shavings, it's rich, full-bodied and concentrated, with imposing reserves of firm, powdery tannin underpinned by its deep core of fruit. This old school, unreconstructed claret, which I imagine was forbiddingly austere for much of the first three decades of its life, is a wine the likes of which simply aren't produced in contemporary Bordeaux." (94 pts. William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Dec. 2022)
