CHATEAU LAFITE 1983 |

Château Lafite 1983 Pauillac, 1er Cru ClasséLot 498: u.3vts, 9 levels into the neck, 2 slightly corroded capsules, otherwise excellent appearance, color and clarity, Lot 499: u. 1ts, 11bn or into the neck, 5 slightly corroded capsules, Lot 500: u. 8bn, 3vts, 1ts, 3 stained labels, 3 slightly corroded capsules, 2 bottles with some tissue adhered60% 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.
