Château Lafite 1982 (3 MAG)

Château Lafite 1982

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u. 2vts, 1ts, damp-stained labels, 1 slightly nicked label, 1 slight tissue paper adhered to label, 2 torn capsules

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. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
