CHATEAU LAFITE 1983 |

Château Lafite 1983 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classéu. 1bn, in original tissues, 3 slightly scuffed capsules, 1 very slight sign of old seepage, 4 very slightly sunken corks60% 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
