Details
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1983
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
All bottles of excellent appearance. Levels into neck
In original tissues. In original wooden case
Tasting Note: Finally, the 1983 Lafite is beginning to shed its tannin. The wine exhibits a deep ruby/garnet colour with only a slight lightening at the edge. The intoxicatingly perfumed nose of lead pencil, pain grillé, red and black fruits, minerals, and roasted herbs is provocative. In the mouth, this wine displays considerable body for a Lafite, plenty of power, and a fleshy, rich, sweet mid-palate. Long, elegant, plump, and surprisingly fleshy, this outstanding example of Lafite seems largely forgotten given the number of high quality vintages during the golden decade of the eighties. Anticipated maturity: Now-2030. Robert Parker. Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition, Jan 1998
