CHATEAU LAFITE 1983 |

Château Lafite 1983 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classéu. 2bn, 8vts, 2ts, 2 nicked labels, 2 slightly corroded capsules, 1 slightly raised cork, bottles wrapped in original tissue prior to inspection60% 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. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 9312 bts (owc)Estimates are per lot
