Château Lafite 1983 (2 BT)

Château Lafite 1983

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

 u. 1bn, 1 just into neck, labels soiled, 1 damaged, 1 badly damaged, both vintages illegibles, capsule cut to reveal vintages just legibles; Un niveau juste dans le goulot, étiquettes sales, 1 abimée, 1 très abimée, les deux millésimes illisibles, capsules coupées pour révéler les millésime justes lisibles

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
