Château Lafite 1982 Pauillac, 1er Cru ClasséLot 171: u. 11bn, 1vts, 2 slightly torn capsules, Lot 172: u. 9bn, 3vts, 3 damp-stained labels, slightly bin-soiled labels, 1 tissue adhered to capsule, damp-stained and partially broken owc65% 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+ 171:12 bts (owc) 172:12 bts (owc)Estimates are per lot
