​Wine: Château Larrivaux ​Appellation: Haut-Médoc (Cru Bourgeois) ​Vintage: 1982 ​Quantity: 35 bottles ​Condition Report ​Labels: The labels are remarkably consistent. They show light cellar dust and minor signs of humidity (tiny spots), but overall, they are in good vintage condition. No major tears or missing fragments are visible. ​Fill Levels: Based on the overhead view, the shoulders of the bottles appear full. Most seem to be at top-shoulder or high-shoulder level. For a wine over 40 years old, this suggests excellent storage conditions with minimal evaporation.​Capsules: Original red capsules with "Récoltant" stamps. Some show surface oxidation/dust, but they remain firm and well-seated on the necks. ​The 1982 Vintage Factor ​The year 1982 is the gold standard for Bordeaux collectors. Even for a "Cru Bourgeois" like Larrivaux, this vintage offers a density and a structure that allow the wine to age for decades. A lot of 35 bottles allows a collector or a restaurateur to serve it for a large event or to taste its evolution over many years.
