Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Levels: bottom neck or better, both lots have one bottle with signs of old seepage.
In original wooden cases
Parcel lots: 224 to 225
"The 1982 Lafite possesses a dark, dense ruby/purple color 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 flavor depth and persistence. The finish lasts for nearly a minute. Plenty of tannin remains, and the wine displays a vibrancy and youthfulness that belie its 18 years of age. The modern day equivalent of Lafite-Rothschild's immortal 1959, the 1982 will enjoy another 30-70 years of life! An amazing achievement!" Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate 129, 6/00
