CHATEAU LAFITE 1982 |

Château Lafite 1982 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classéu. 4bn, 2vts, 2ts, 2 very slightly scuffed labels, 4 very slightly sunken corks, capsules very slightly corroded and slightly scuffed on the bottom edges, good color and clarity65% 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 WA 97+12 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
