FINEST & RAREST BORDEAUX FROM THE OUTSTANDING 1982 & 1989 VINTAGES
The following wines from a private wine collector feature iconic wines from the 1980's: Lafite-Rothschild, Latour and Margaux from the stellar 1982 vintage and Pétrus from the highly-regarded 1989 vintage
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Levels: eight bottom neck or better and four top-shoulder; scuffed capsules; original tissues and good labels
In original wooden case
Tasting Note: "Eventually a triumph. On decanting and for two and a half hours later, the wine was big and smoky, with ripe fruit, a rather burnt nose, and firm, grippy tannins. With time a softer, riper plum and fig fruit character arose and the smoky, burnt aromas took a backseat, along with cedary lead pencil notes. On the palate in time the tannins softened as well, providing a lush, rich, velvety drink just in time for the steak." CC, December 2009
