CHATEAU LAFITE 1982 |

Château Lafite 1982 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classéu. 2bn, 2 levels into the neck, scuffed labels and capsules, 2 sunken corks, 1 slight sign of seepage65% 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+4 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
