CHATEAU LAFITE 1982 |

Château Lafite 1982 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classéu. 2hs, 1 label slightly nicked, capsules slightly corroded, tissue wrapped65% 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.
