CHATEAU LAFITE 1983 |

Château Lafite 1983 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classéu. 7bn, 2vts, 1ts, 5 labels lightly glue stained, 3 also slightly damp stained, 7 labels damp stained and lightly glue stained, including 1 slightly damaged, 3 capsules slightly corroded, 4 corks slightly depressed60% Cabernet Sauvignon in this vintage. In 2018, I think this has got better over the last decade, showing a purer Lafite nose with its signature breed and cedary notes. The texture has Lafite finesse and the flavour has filled out, filling the mouth with that cèpes and smoke allure.
