CHATEAU LAFITE 1982 |

Château Lafite 1982 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classéu.2ts, 5t/hs, 3hs, 2h/m, wines come from 2 different importers, slightly scuffed labels and capsules, 5 slightly corroded capsules, 1 sign of seepage, excellent 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
