Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Lot 147 levels: bottom neck or better; two very lightly nicked capsules, two slightly depressed corks, two very lightly corroded capsules, tissue wrapped prior to Christie's inspection
Tasting Note: "Eventually a triumph. The wine is 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
