More Information
A PRIVATE COLLECTION OF FINEST BORDEAUX INCLUDING LAFITE AND MOUTON FROM THE 1982 VINTAGE
Château Lafite-Rothschild 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Slightly bin-soiled labels, one nicked
Levels base of neck
Tasting Note: This is a denser version of the 1990 that stylistically reminds me of what the young 1959 probably tasted like. Still backward with a deep ruby/plum color revealing only a touch of lightening at the edge, the wine offers up an extraordinary nose of caramelized herbs, smoke, cedar, pen ink, black currants, and earth. The gorgeous aromatics are followed by a full-bodied, plump, rich, fleshy wine with low acidity. With 6-8 hours decanting in a closed decanter, it will offer beautiful drinking. It is capable of lasting 50-60 years. 97+ RP
