CHÂTEAU LAFITE 1982

Château Lafite 1982

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u. 4bn, 6vts, 1ts, 1 good level, excellent appearance, capsules very slightly worn, 10 slightly corroded on top, 2 very slightly nicked at collar, tissue wrapped

65% Cabernet Sauvignon in this vintage. On Christmas Eve 2013, an incredibly rich, spicy, leathery nose, multi-layered and meaty. The taste balances fresh acidity with real maturity and it is just so "thick" and velvety. Enormous tannic structure with irony backbone. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
