Château Lafite 1982
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé
u. 8vts, 3ts, 1t/hs, heavily corroded capsules, tissue wrapped prior to inspection

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
