Château Lafite 1983

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u. 1bn, 6vts, 2ts, 6 labels slightly soiled, slightly worn, 3 slightly scuffed, 1 slightly cut, 1 with remains of tissues, 5 soiled and worn of which 2 slightly scuffed, 6 capsules slightly wrinkled, 1 slightly damaged around collar; 6 étiquettes légèrement salis, légèrement usées, 3 légèrement éraflées, 1 légèrement coupée, 1 avec reste de papier de soie, 5 salis et usées dont 2 légèrement éraflées, 6 capsules légèrement froissées, 1 légèrement abimée autour du col

60% Cabernet Sauvignon in this vintage. In 2018, I think this has got better over the last decade, showing a purer Lafite nose with its signature breed and cedary notes. The texture has Lafite finesse and the flavour has filled out, filling the mouth with that cèpes and smoke allure. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
