Château Lafite 1982 (4 BT)

Château Lafite 1982

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u.2vts, 2ts, one label loosely-adhered, 2 slightly sunken corks; 1 bottle comes from different importer

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.
