Château Lafite 1982 (3 MAG)

Château Lafite 1982

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u.2vts, 1t/hs, heavily damp-stained, heavily bin-soiled, and wine-stained labels, heavily corroded capsules, 2 torn capsules, 1 mostly missing capsule

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.
