Château Lafite 1982 (12 BT)

Château Lafite 1982

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u. 3ts, otherwise levels vts, 6 tissue-stained labels, 8 slightly oxidized capsules, 4 slightly raised corks, 1 sunken cork, 2 signs of old seepage, original tissues

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
