Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Lot 1 and 2 excellent appearance. Original tissues. Levels into neck. Lot 3 good appearance. Original tissues. Slightly glue and tissue stained label edges. Levels into neck. Lot 4 original tissues with three slightly attached to the labels. Seven slightly damp-marked labels. Levels: six into neck and six base of neck. Lot 5 original tissues. One slightly corroded capsule. Slightly bin-soiled and damp-marked labels. Levels: one into neck, five base of neck, five top and one upper-shoulder
Tasting Notes: Most recently, double decanted and served 5 hours later: still deep and velvety, with a virtually opaque core; the bouquet already aroused and holding its fragrance; medium-sweet, delicious flavour and persistence. Tamed tannins. Last noted Dec 2004 ****(*) M.B.
The 1982 Lafite possesses a dark, dense ruby/purple colour with only a subtle lightening at the rim. Spectacular aromatics offer jammy cherry and black fruits intertwined with lead pencil, mineral, and smoky wood scents. Powerful for a Lafite, this wine unfolds to reveal extraordinary richness, purity, and overall symmetry in addition to stunning flavour depth and persistence. The finish lasts for nearly a minute.
