Château Lafite 1982 Pauillac, 1er Cru ClasséLot 7096: u. 6bn, 6vts, label 1 scuffed on the bottom edge, 1 partially scratched on the lower part, capsules slightly corroded and 3 heavily nicked, Taiwan importer's back labels, Lot 7097: u. 7bn, 1vts, from different importers, very good color and clarity, labels 5 very slightly scuffed, capsules 1 nicked, 3 slightly scuffed, 3 with stickers on lower part of capsules, 1 bottle with slight sign of old seepage65% 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+ 7096:12 bts (sc) 7097:12 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
